Recharging the battery pack
When the battery pack is installed on the AC adaptor/
charger and the power cord is plugged in an AC outlet,
the CHARGE indicator (B) will light and the battery pack
is automatically recharged. When it is fully charged, the

battery pack immediately, then try again making
sure the battery pack is correctly installed. If the
CHARGE indicator still flashes rapidly it may
indicate that the battery pack cannot be used.
Please consult your dealer for assistance.

in the operation of the battery pack.
Battery pack low power indicator
The low power indicator
i!SJ
flashes in the viewfinder when
the remaining charge of the battery pack is low and there
are only a few minutes of operation left before the power
to the camcorder is cut off. The battery pack should be
recharged, or replaced with a charged one.
�Notes:
e
Do not short-circuit the battery pack terminals, and
never try to disassemble or modify it.
e
Do not throw in the fire, as it may explode.
e
Before recharging the battery pack, exhaust the
available charge or use the Refresh function of the
AC adaptor/charger. Recharging a battery pack
when it is not completely discharged will shorten the
operating time it provides.
e
If a charged battery pack is not used for
2
-
3
months or more, its charge will last shorter than
normal. To restore the charge to its original level, it
should be used until completely discharged and
recharged two or three times.
