Step 2 - Mounting the Adapter Plates 

Some battery models will require the use of an 
adapter plate (A, B or C). Consult the battery chart 
in this manual to determine which adapter plate 
your camcorder battery requires.

To install the adapter plates - 

slide the 

central notch on the adapter plate’s upper edge into 
the slot on the upper edge of the charging bay    
(Fig. 1), then press down firmly on the plate’s lower 
edge (Fig. 2). 

The plate will snap firmly in place. Install the battery 
so the contacts on the battery meet the contacts on 
the adapter plate. To remove the plate push down 
on the battery/adapter plate latch.

To install the battery - 

Align the contacts on your 

battery with the appropriate contacts on the charger. 
Typically you can install the battery onto the charger 
plate the same way you install the battery onto your 
camcorder. Follow the guides on the battery and the 
charger.

TIP:

 For some battery models, you will press the battery 

straight down and then slide it up, away from the 
indicator light, (Fig. 1). On others you will slide the 
battery up and press it down (Figs.2 and 3).

Either way the battery should slide easily into place. If it 
does not, do not force the battery into place. Realign the 
guides and try again.
