CHECKING THE BATTERY 
When the " 
 " indication appears in the viewfinder and flashes while the camcorder is being operated with a 
battery (provided), it indicates that the battery charge is low. Charge it or replace it with a charged battery. 
 
 
 
Press the "DISPLAY" button. The remaining battery power level will appear in the viewfinder. 
When the battery is fully charged, " 
 " is displayed. After several minutes, the symbol will change to " 
 ". 
When the battery is very near empty, the symbol will change to " 
 " and start blinking. You should find an 
alternative power source or recharge the battery before continuing to use your camcorder. 
 
 
 
NOTE: When a battery pack is used to power the camcorder, " 
 " flashes even if "DISPLAY" is not pressed 
to warn you that the battery power level is low.
