8 EN Battery pack BN-V408U, BN-V416U or BN-V428U To AC outlet AC Power Adapter/ Charger POWER indicator DC OUT connector CHARGE indicator Battery pack BN-V408U BN-V416U (optional) BN-V428U (optional) Fully charging time approx. 1 hr. 30 min. approx. 2 hrs. approx. 3 hrs. 20 min. GETTING STARTED Power This camcorder's 2-way power supply system lets you choose the most appropriate sour ce of power. Do not use provided power supply units with other equipment. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK 1 Make sure you unplug the camcorder 's DC cord from the AC Power Adapter/Charger. Plug the AC Adapter/ Charger's power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights. 2 Attach the battery pack with the mark aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE indicator begins blinking to indicate charging has started. 3 When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays lit, charging is finished. Slide the battery and lift off. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/Charger's power cord from the AC outlet. NOTES: ● If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first. ● 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 char ging. If the environment is too cold, char ging may be incom- plete. ● Charging times noted above are for a fully discharged battery pack. ● Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack. ● To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Power Adapter/Charger near a radio. ● If you connect the camcorder 's DC cord to the adapter during battery char ging, power is supplied to the camcorder and charging stops. ● Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas. ● When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again. ● If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully char ged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please pur chase a new one. Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures. About Batteries DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion. WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short cir cuit and possibly start a fire. The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a lar ge power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If you're using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
