Charging and installing the Battery Pack
Before using your camcorder, you first need to charge and install the battery pack. To charge the battery
pack, use the supplied AC-V2S/V2SA AC power adaptor.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat place without vibration. (1) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(2) Align the right side of the battery pack with the white line on the AC power adaptor, then slide the
battery pack in the direction of the arrow. (3) Set the selector to CHARGE. The POWER lamp (green) and
the CHARGE lamp (orange) light up. Charging begins.
When charging is completed, the CHARGE lamp goes out. Set the selector to OFF and unplug the unit
from the wall outlet. Then remove the battery pack and install it on the camcorder. To stop charging, set
the selector to OFF.

Important!
Use the battery completely before re-cbarglng!
Before you recharge the battery, make sure the battery has been used up (discharged) completely
Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery capacity. However, the
original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery completely and charge it fully again.
To use up the battery, remove the cassette and slide the POWER switch to CAMERA with the battery
attached, and leave the camcorder until the indicator and the red lamp flash in the viewfinder.
