Charging the Battery Pack
The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. The 
first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is 
completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed 
accurately.
For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer 
to Charging,  Recording and Playback Times  (0 170).
1 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter.
2 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3 Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder’s 
DC IN terminal.
4 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
• Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment  unit and slide it forward until it clicks in place.
5 Charging will start when the camcorder is turned off.
• If the camcorder was on, the green ON/OFF (CHG) 
indicator will go out when you turn off the camcorder. After 
a moment, the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator will start flashing in 
red (battery pack charging). The red ON/OFF (CHG) 
indicator will go out when the battery pack is fully charged.
• If the indicator flashes quickly, refer to  Troubleshooting 
( 0 155).
