Checking the Battery's Charge

A battery charge indicator is located on the upper right corner of the LCD monitor. One of three symbols displays
when the battery is used.

This symbol indicates a fully charged battery.

This symbol indicates a partially charged battery.

This flashing symbol indicates a battery nearly out of power. Use an alternative power source or

charge the battery before continuing to use the camcorder.

Using Alternative Power Sources

Using the AC Adapter/Charger

Please ensure that the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is in the OFF position whenever attaching or detaching any
power supply (ie. battery, AC adapter/charger, etc.).
Before attaching the external power cord check that there is no sand, water or dirt adhering to the terminal of the
attachment section. If anything adheres to the terminal, use the brush (provided) or a soft cloth to wipe it off
completely.
