Preparations |

23
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. If you connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw power from the power outlet.
Charge battery packs before use. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging Times (A184) and Recording and Playback Times (A184).
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-955 or an optional BP-950G, BP-970G or BP-975 Battery Pack*. All four are compatible with Intelligent System, meaning that you can check the remaining battery time.
*The optional BP-970G / BP-975 Battery Pack was not originally designed for use with this camcorder. Because of its size, you will not be able to close the battery compartment cover when using one (A179).
Charging the Battery Pack |
COPY |
|
Charge battery packs using the supplied CG-940 Battery Charger. Before charging, remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 Connect the power cord to the battery charger.
2 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3 Attach the battery pack to the battery charger.
• Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
• The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the battery pack’s approximate charge. The indicator will stay on when charging has completed.
0-34%: Flashes once per second
35-69%: Flashes twice per second
70-99%: Flashes 3 times per second
CHARGE indicator
4 When charging has completed, remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
5 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect it from the battery charger.
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the battery charger any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
NOTES
•We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF). Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
•If there is a malfunction with the battery charger or battery pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.
•For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (A178).
•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.

NOTES
•The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
•Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A169) or the battery information screen (press the BATT. INFO button while the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more accurate reading.
