battery is used.
● When charging the battery pack for the first time 
or after a long storage period, the POWER/
CHARGE lamp may not light. In this case, 
remove the battery pack from the camcorder, 
then try charging again.
● If a fully charged battery pack is attached to the 
unit, POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink for 
approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely 
short even after having been fully charged, the 
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. 
Please purchase a new one.
● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity 
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure 
to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
● After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record-
Standby mode with the cassette inserted and no 
operation is performed, the camcorder will 
automatically turn off its power supplied from 
the AC adapter. In this case, the battery charge 
starts if the battery is attached to the camcorder.
● Please do not pull or bend the AC adapter plug 
and cable.  This may damage the AC adapter.
