IMPORTANT
- Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. After you turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the recording media. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.
- When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.
- Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the AC adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
- To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied AC adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTE
- You cannot charge the optional LP-E6 Battery Pack with the camcorder. Check the bottom label of the battery pack and make sure it is an LP-E6N Battery Pack.
- We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50°F and 86°F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack's temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32°F to 104°F), charging may take longer than usual or charging may not start.
- The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
- If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.
- If remaining battery time is an issue, use the AC adapter to power the camcorder from a power outlet so the battery pack will not be consumed.
- Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
- We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
