Loading the battery
Charge your battery
You must use the supplied AC adaptor or the USB cable to charge
your camcorder before use. Turn off the camcorder. A blinking light
will indicate active charging and a solid light will indicate that
charging is complete. In AC charging mode, the light will turn off
automatically after 5 minutes.

Handling of the battery pack
❖
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack
to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may
possibly cause serious injury.
❖
Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery
pack. The battery pack could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the
caustic alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances could
cause fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
❖
Never short-circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with
another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or a
fire, and could also damage the battery pack and product.
Always wrap the battery pack in plastic (or place it in a plastic
bag) whenever transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to
another conductive object which could result in serious injury.
Always cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when
disposing of the battery pack, to prevent accidental short-
circuiting which could result in serious injury.
