•  Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully charged 

battery.

Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 
10 seconds. If the Camcorder still cannot be used, 
the battery is faulty.

and do not operate the Camcorder for about 
5 continuous minutes, the power is automatically 
turned off for tape protection and power 
conservation. To resume recording, turn the [OFF/
ON] switch to [OFF]. Then turn it to [ON] again.
