Getting Started

Step 1: Preparing the Power Supply

The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the compact power
adapter. Charge the battery pack before use.

1. Turn off the camcorder.

2. Attach the battery pack to the

camcorder.

• Open the LCD panel.
• Slide in the connector end of the battery

in the direction of the arrow and press it
gently until it clicks.

3. Connect the power cord to the

compact power adapter.

4. Plug the power cord into a power

outlet.

5. Connect the compact power

adapter to the camcorder’s DC IN
terminal.

• The CHG. (charge) indicator starts

flashing. The indicator will stay on when
the charging is completed.

• You can also use the compact power

adapter without attaching a battery pack.

• When the compact power adapter is connected, even if a battery is attached its

power will not be consumed.

Once the battery is fully charged:

1. Disconnect the compact power adapter from the camcorder.

2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and the compact power

adapter.

To remove the battery pack:
