STORE BATTERY:
Be sure to fully discharge a battery pack by
performing the following steps before storing it for
a long period of time, otherwise the battery
performance will be reduced.
1) Attach the battery to the camcorder with no
cassette inserted.
2) Set the Power Switch
@
to “
” or “
” while
pressing down the Lock Button
!
located on the
switch.
• During charging or discharging, the camcorder
cannot be operated.
• Charging and discharging is not possible if the
wrong type of battery is used.
• When charging the battery pack for the first time
or after a long storage period, the CHARGE lamp
)
may not light. Remove the battery pack from
the camcorder, then try charging again.
• If a fully-charged battery’s operation time remains
extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please
purchase a new one.
• Perform charging where the temperature is
between 10
°
C and 35
°
C (50
°
F and 95
°
F). 20
°
C to
25
°
C (68
°
F to 77
°
F) is the ideal temperature range
for charging. If the environment is too cold,
charging may be incomplete.
• Charging time varies according to the ambient
temperature and the status of the battery pack.
• Since the AC Adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.
• The following operation stops charging or
discharging:
• Set the Power Switch
@
to “
”, “
” or “
”.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
• Unplug the AC Adapter’s power cord from the
AC outlet.
• Detach the battery from the camcorder.
• Using the optional AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/
Charger, you can charge the BN-V11U/V12U/
V20U/V400U battery pack without the camcorder.
However, it cannot be used as an AC adapter.
• To avoid interference with reception, do not use
the AC Adapter near a radio.
• Recording time is reduced significantly when
Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged
repeatedly or the LCD monitor* is used repeat-
edly.
• Before extended use, it is recommended that you
prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the
planned shooting time.
* Applicable models only.
