On the battery pack • Before changing the battery pack, turn the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the (Movie) lamp/ (Still) lamp (p.13). • The power will not be supplied from the battery as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack of your camcorder or the Handycam Station, even when the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet. On the charging/recording/playback time • Times measured when using the camcorder at 25°C (77°F) (10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) is recommended). • The available recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures. • The available recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder. On the AC Adaptor • Use the nearby wall outlet when using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder. • Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture. • Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic objects. This may cause a malfunction. • Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power (house current) is still supplied to it while connected to the wall outlet via the AC Adaptor.
