rechargeable battery.
Insert the battery according to the correct polarity marks ( + or -).
1.
Close the battery cover firmly.
2.
Note
Please remove the insulator on battery connection before use.
•
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery
•
performance.
Never expose the battery to a heating equipment (e.g., microwave oven) and
•
attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing it into a fire. Heat
can cause the battery to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which
may possibly cause serious injury.
Turn the power off and stop using the battery if you observe the condition of excessive heat on
•
the battery.
Charge your battery
You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable. The
camcorder must be turned OFF. A blinking light will indicate active
charging and a solid light indicates that charging is complete.
In AC charging Mode, the full charge time is about 4 hours and
the light will turn itself off automatically after 3~5 minutes when
the charging is completed. (Actual charging time may vary. It
depends on the battery conditions.)
In PC USB charging mode, the full charge time is about 8.5
hours.
Note
Never charge the battery by a method other than as
•
instructed. Doing so may cause a fire or explosion possibly
resulting in serious injury.
Use the supplied AC adapter only with the indicated power
•
supply voltage.
Use with any other power supply voltage might cause
•
electric shock.
Be sure that the power outlet you plug the adapter into is easily accessible. When you need
•
to disconnect power from the camcorder, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
