When recording indoors with an available wall outlet, it is convenient to use the AC power supply instead of the
battery pack.
It is recommended to charge the battery pack in a place with ambient temperature of 50˚F~86˚F (10°C ~ 30°C).
When charging, if both the USB cable and AC power adaptor are connected, the AC power adaptor will override
the USB.
If the camcorder is turned on, the battery will still charge, but more charging time will be needed. It is recommended
you to keep the camcorder turned off while charging.
