Notes on charging the battery pack
• The CHARGE lamp will remain lit for a while even if the battery pack is removed and
the AC power adaptor is unplugged after charging the battery pack. This is normal.
• If the CHARGE lamp does not light, disconnect the AC power adaptor. After about
one minute, reconnect the AC power adaptor again.
• When operating the digital camcorder using the AC power adapter, you cannot
charge the battery pack.
• When a fully charged battery pack is installed, the CHARGE lamp will light once,
then go out.
