Power/Body
1: The Camcorder power cannot be turned on.
• Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully 

charged battery.

• The battery protection circuit may have 

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

• If you set [POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] 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. (

) 

• Is the battery low? If the remaining battery 

power indication is flashing or the message 
“LOW BATTERY” is displayed, the battery has 
run down. Charge the battery or attach a fully 
charged battery. (

) 

• Has condensation occurred? When you carry 

the Camcorder from a cold place into a warm 
place, condensation may occur inside it. If so, 
the power is turned off automatically, disabling 
all operations except for taking cassettes out. 
Wait until the condensation indication 
disappears. (

) 

4: Battery runs down quickly.
• Is the battery fully charged? Charge it with the 

AC adaptor. (

) 

• Are you using the battery in an extremely cold 

place? The battery is affected by ambient 
temperature. In cold places, the operating time 
of the battery becomes shorter.

• Has the battery worn out? The battery has a 

limited life. If the operating time is still too short 
even after the battery is fully charged, 
depending on the usage, the battery has worn 
out and can no longer be used. 

• Remove the cassette and then press the 

[RESET] button. (

) If normal conditions are 

not restored yet, turn off the power. Then, 
about 1 minute later, turn on the power again. 
(Conducting the above operation when the 
access lamp is on may destroy the data on the 
card.)
