6 EN Battery pack BN-V207U or BN-V214U CHARGE indicator POWER indicator To AC outlet AC Power Adapter/Charger AA-V20U DC OUT connector Battery pack BN-V207U BN-V214U (optional) Charging time approx. 1 hr. 30 min. approx. 3 hrs. GETTING STARTED Power This camcorder's 2-way power supply system lets you choose the most appropriate source 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 Remove the battery pack's protective cap. Attach the battery pack with its long groove pointing toward the indicator side of the battery pack mount 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. 4 Slide the battery in the opposite direction of the arrow and lift off. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/ Charger's power cord from the AC outlet. NOTES: ● Perform charging where the temperature is between 10° and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). 20° 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 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 charging, 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 charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase 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 circuit and possibly start a fire. The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large 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.)
