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.

Make sure the battery pack is attached to the

camcorder. Hook its end to the camcorder 1and

push the battery in until it locks in place 2.

•If the battery pack is attached in the wrong position,

a malfunction may occur.

Set the Power Switch to “OFF”. Connect the AC

Adapter to the camcorder 3, then connect the Power

Cord to the AC Adapter 4.

Plug the Power Cord into an AC outlet 5.

The CHARGE lamp on the camcorder blinks to

indicate charging has started.

When the CHARGE lamp stops blinking but stays lit,

charging is finished. Unplug the Power Cord from the

AC outlet. Disconnect the AC Adapter from the

camcorder.

To Detach The Battery Pack . . .

.... slide BATTERY RELEASE and pull out the battery pack.

NOTES:

●

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.

In this case, remove the battery pack from the

camcorder, 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.

●

Using the optional AA-V15EG AC Power Adapter/

Charger, you can charge the BN-V11U/V12U/V20U/

V400U battery pack without the camcorder. However, it

cannot be used as an AC adapter.
