5.2. Charging the battery
Plug the USB power supply into a socket. Then connect the power supply to
the camera to charge the integral lithium-ion battery. The camera switches
on automatically. During charging, the red control light on the rear of the
camera is illuminated. The red light is switched off once the battery is fully
charged. Charging time for a fully discharged battery is approx. 3 hours.
In order to prevent longer charging times, the camera should be charged
via the power supply. It is not recommended to charge the camera from a
computer. The video camera can be used as normal during charging.
Note:
• After connection to the charger, the camera automatically switches off
after 3 minutes if not operated. Charging continues even if the camera is
switched off.
• To use the camera again after it has switched off automatically, disconnect
camera from adapter for approx. 5 seconds and then reconnect. The
camera will now switch on again.
