1. Connect the car adapter/charger to the car's cigarette lighter socket. 
The power light turns on. 
2. Attach the batter to the car adapter/charger. The charge light turns on 
and charging starts. The light turns off when charging is finished. 

Note: When the car adapter/charger is connected to the camcorder via the 
external power cord, set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch of the camcorder to 
"OFF". Charging is not done when it is set to "CAM" or "VIDEO". 
Note: Read the instruction manual of the car adapter/charger carefully before 
charging. 

 

 

The battery has a green charge marker on one side of the battery. When 
the battery is removed from the AC adapter/charger a green color marker 
will be exposed. When the battery is ejected from the camcorder no green 
marker will be seen. 

Note: The marker switch does not guarantee the batteries' charge status. 

With repeated normal charging and use the battery will gradually lose 
operating time. When operation time becomes too short to be useful, 
replace the battery. 
If the CHARGE indicator flashes during charging, remove the battery and
