Refreshing a fully charged battery takes approximately 4 hours (VM-BP82G), adding 
considerable time to battery charging. 
With repeated normal charging and use the battery will gradually lose operating time. When 
operation time becomes too short to be useful, replace the battery. 
If the POWER light begins to flash during charging, remove the battery and then reattach it to the 
AC charger/adapter. If the POWER light continues to flash after several attempts to attach it, the 
battery is unable to take a charge and must be replaced. 
Do not attach a hot battery to the AC adapter/charger. Allow it to cool. Attaching a hot battery to 
the AC adapter/charger causes the POWER light to flash. 
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY OR AC 
ADAPTER/CHARGER. 
THROWING THE BATTERY INTO FIRE OR EXPOSING IT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT (ABOVE 
149°F [65°C]) MAY CAUSE INJURY. 
SHORTING THE BATTERY'S TERMINAL INCREASES RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL 
SHOCK. 
ATTENTION: 
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. 
The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state 
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal 
waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your 
area for recycling options or proper disposal. 
 
Adjusting the Electronic Viewfinder 
The electronic viewfinder adjusts simply by pivoting it to a position where it is comfortable and 
easy to see through. Place the viewfinder back in its original position before storing the 
camcorder in its case or carrying the camera recorder around to avoid damaging the viewfinder or 
camcorder.
