Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder

Charge the Battery

The battery must be charged before it can be used the first time. Initial charging will
take approximately two hours. The camcorder’s operating time depends on how often
you turn the power on and off and how much you use zoom and pause. Conserve
battery power by turning the camcorder off during recording breaks.

Charge the Battery

If the DC cable is attached to the
DC OUTPUT jack on the adapter/charger,
remove it.

1. Align reference mark on battery with

mark on adapter/charger.

2. Hold the battery flush against the

adapter/charger and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.

3. Plug adapter/charger into nearest AC

outlet (120V, 50/60Hz).

4. If the battery is properly connected,

the adapter/charger’s CHARGE
indicator lights.

Note: Your battery will provide better

service if you charge it before and after use
and store it at room temperature.

5. Remove the charged battery by sliding

it up and off the adapter/charger.

6. Attach the charged battery to the

camcorder as shown on the next page.

Caution: When a battery is attached to the adapter/charger, do
