To charge the battery with the AC power adaptor
The battery is not charged during the power saving mode, which may keep the mode indicator on or flashing. Start
charging the battery after turning off the camcorder by pressing the
Power

) button.
We recommend you charge the battery pack in a place with an ambient temperature of 10°C ~ 30°C (50˚F~86˚F).
When charging, if both the USB cable and AC power adaptor are connected, the AC power adaptor will override
the USB.
The camcorder does not operate with USB power only. Use the power adaptor or battery to operate the camcorder.
When charging using the USB jack, charging time may depend on the type of USB host (PC).
