• During charging or discharging, the camcorder cannot be operated. • Charging and discharging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used. • When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE lamp * may not light. Remove the battery pack from the camcorder, then try charging again. • If a fully-charged battery's operation time remains extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please purchase a new one. • 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 charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete. • Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack. • Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use.
