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
indicates active charging, and a solid light indicates that charging is
complete. In AC charging mode, the light will turn off
automatically after the battery is fully charged. The full charge time
is approximately 4 hours.

Handling of the battery
❖
Never attempt to dispose of a battery 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 to explode
and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause
serious injury.
❖
Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery.
The battery 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 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 and product. Always
wrap the battery 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, to prevent accidental short-circuiting which could
result in serious injury.
