Before Use
Using the Battery
Before use, fully charge the Battery.
• Since the Battery will not be charged when the DC
Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor, disconnect
it from the AC Adaptor.
• The [POWER] Lamp and [CHARGE] Lamp light
up, and charging starts.
• When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off, charging is
completed.
• When the battery is completely discharged, the
[CHARGE] Lamp blinks at fi rst, but the battery is
charged normally. When the temperature of the
battery is too high or low, the [CHARGE] Lamp
blinks and the charging time becomes longer than
usual.
• We recommend using a Panasonic Battery.
• We cannot guarantee the quality of this Camcorder
when batteries from other companies are used.
