m a
household power source.
1. Turn the POWER switch to OFF.
2. Connect the power cord to thepower adapter.
3. Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
4. Connect the power adapter to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal.
❍Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.
❍ If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the
adapter away from the TV or the antenna cable.  
❍ Do not connect any products that are not expressly recommended to the
camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the power adapter.
❍ You may hear some noise from the power adapter during use. This is not a
malfunction.
❍ Do not disconnect and reconnect the power cord while charging a battery
pack. Charging may stop. The battery pack may not be charged correctly even
if the CHARGE indicator glows steady. The battery pack may also not be
charged correctly when a power outage occurs during charging. Remove the
battery pack and attach it back to the camcorder.
❍ When the power adapter or battery pack is defective, the CHARGE indicato\
r

❍Charging, Recording and Playback Times
Below times are approximate and vary according to the charging, recording or
playback conditions.
* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming,
power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
❍ We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50 ˚F and
86 ˚F (10 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Outside the temperature range of 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C
to 40 ˚C), the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.
❍ A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike
conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or dischar\
ge it
before charging.
❍ We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you
think you might need.
❍ To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in
record pause mode.
