On charging the pre-installed 
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable 
battery to retain the date, time, and other settings 
even when the LCD screen is closed. The pre-
installed rechargeable battery is always charged 
while your camcorder is connected to the wall 
outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor or while 
the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable 
battery will be fully discharged in about 3 months 
if you do not use your camcorder at all. Use 
your camcorder after charging the pre-installed 
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable 
battery is not charged, the camcorder operation 
will not be affected as long as you are not 
recording the date.
How to charge the pre-installed 
rechargeable battery
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet (wall 
socket) using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave 
it with the LCD screen closed for more than 24 
hours.
