Getting Started

Step 2 Preparing the power supply

Notes

•Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of

the AC Adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC Adaptor.

•Keep the battery pack dry.
•When the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, charge the battery pack once

fully, and then use it until it fully discharges again. Keep the battery pack in a cool place.

Until your camcorder calculates the actual remaining battery time

“- - - - min” appears in the display window.

While charging the battery pack, no indicator appears or the indicator flashes in
the display window in the following cases:

– The battery pack is not installed correctly.
– The AC Adaptor is disconnected.
– Something is wrong with the battery pack.

When using the AC Adaptor

Be sure to use it near the wall socket. If a malfunction occurs, disconnect the plug from
a wall socket.
