Charging the Battery 

 

18

Note: Keep the batteries in a dark, cool, dry place. 

The first step is to set the battery to charge. To charge the battery, use the provided AC 
adapter/charger. 

Note: This camcorder operates with the Lithium ion battery such as VM-BPL13/VM-BPL27. 

Charge the battery on a flat surface without vibration. 

 

1. Plug the AC adapter/charger power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER lamp (red) 
lights up. 

2. Align the bottom of the battery with mark   on the AC adapter/charger, and then slide 
it in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. The CHARGE lamp (green) lights 
up. 
3. The CHARGE lamp will flash at 3-second cycles to show that the battery has been 
charged approximately 70% of full charge. When the CHARGE lamp goes out, the 
battery has been completely charged. After the lamp goes out, unplug the AC 
adapter/charger from the AC outlet and remove the battery from the AC 
adapter/charger. 

Note: You can use the battery before it is completely charged. 
Note: Remove the DC cord from the AC adapter/charger before attempting to charge the 
battery. 
Note: If you re-attach the fully charged battery to the AC adapter/charger after the 
CHARGE lamp goes out, the lamp will light. This simply informs you that the battery has 
been completely charged; it does not indicate that the charge has been insufficient.
