IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the com-
pact power adapter. After pressing x to turn off the camcorder,
important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to wait until the green
ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact
power adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly recom-
mended for use with this camcorder.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not con-
nect 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.
NOTES
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between
10 °C and 30 °C. Outside the temperature range of approximately 0 °C
to 40 °C, charging will not start. Also, when the battery itself is outside
the temperature range of approximately 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not
start.
• During charging, if you disconnect the compact power adapter from the
DC IN terminal or unplug it from the power outlet, make sure the ON/
OFF (CHG) indicator has gone out before connecting or plugging the
compact power adapter again.
