• Turn off the camcorder before 

connecting or disconnecting the 
compact power adapter. After you turn 
the 

 switch to 

, important file 

allocation data is updated on the disc. 
Be sure to wait until the PLAY and 
CAMERA mode indicators are 
completely off.

• You may hear some noise from the 

compact power adapter during use. 
This is not a malfunction.

• We recommend charging the battery 

pack in temperatures between 10 °C 
and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). Outside the 
temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C 
(32 °F to 104 °F), the charging will not 
start.

• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC 

IN terminal or to the compact power 
adapter any electrical equipment that is 
not expressly recommended for use 
with this camcorder.

• To prevent equipment breakdowns and 

excessive heating, do not connect the 
supplied compact power adapter to 
voltage converters for overseas travels 
or special power sources such as those 
on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, 
etc.

• The CHARGE indicator also serves as a 

rough estimate of the charge status.
Continuously on: Battery pack fully 
charged.
Two quick flashes at 1-second intervals: 
Battery pack at least 50% charged. If 
the indicator flashes quickly but not 
exactly in this pattern, refer to 
Troubleshooting  (

70).

One flash at 1-second intervals: Battery 
pack less than 50% charged.

• We recommend that you prepare battery 

packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than 
you think you might need.

• U.S.A. and Canada only: The 

Lithium ion/polymer battery

information on how to recycle

Adjust the grip belt so that you can

finger, and the
