To remove the battery pack
Close the LCD screen. Slide the BATT (battery) release lever
and remove the battery pack
.
To use a wall outlet (wall socket) as a power source
Make the same connections as “Step 1: Charging the battery pack.” Even if the battery pack is
attached, the battery pack is not discharged.
Charging the battery pack abroad
You can charge the battery pack in any countries/regions using the AC Adaptor supplied with
your camcorder within the AC 100 V - 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz range.
Do not use an electronic voltage transformer.
Notes on the battery pack
When you remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC Adaptor, close the LCD screen and make sure
that the (Movie) lamp/ (Photo) lamp (p. 21)/ACCESS lamp (p. 18)/access lamp (p. 69) are turned
off.
The charge lamp flashes during charging under the following conditions:
The battery pack is not attached correctly.
The battery pack is damaged.
When attaching a video light (sold separately), it is recommended that you use an NP-FH70 or NP-
FH100 battery pack (HDR-XR200E/XR200VE).
We do not recommend using an NP-FH30, which only allows short recording and playback times, with
your camcorder.
Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power source (mains) is still supplied to it while connected to
the wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor.
In the default setting, the power turns off automatically if you leave your camcorder without any
operation for about 5 minutes, to save battery power ([A.SHUT OFF]).
