STORE BATTERY: Be sure to fully discharge a battery pack by performing the following steps before storing it for a long period of time, otherwise the battery performance will be reduced. 1) Attach the battery to the camcorder with no cassette inserted. 2) Set the Power Switch ! to " " or " " while pressing down the Lock Button 0 located on the switch. • 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. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas. • The following operation stops charging or discharging: • Set the Power Switch ! to "PLAY", " " or " ". • Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder. • Unplug the AC Adapter's power cord from the AC outlet. • Detach the battery from the camcorder. • Using the optional AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/ Charger, you can charge the BN-V10U/V12U/ V20U/V400U battery pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as an AC adapter. • To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio. • Recording time is reduced significantly when Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly. • Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
