•Available when the Power Switch @ is set to “ ” or “”.

•Performing any operation during the demonstration stops the demonstration temporarily. If no operation is performed for more than 1 minute after that, the demonstration will resume.

•“DEMO MODE” remains “ON” even if the camcorder power is turned off.

•To cancel Automatic Demonstration, set the Power Switch @ to “” and press the MENU Wheel 1 in while the demo is in progress. This takes you directly to the demo mode’s Setting Menu (so you will not have to go through the main Menu Screen). Rotate the MENU Wheel 1 to select “OFF” and press it.

NOTES:

•When a tape whose Erase Protection tab is in the position that allows recording is loaded in the camcorder, demonstration is not available.

•If you do not detach the Lens Cap, you cannot see the actual changes of the Automatic Demonstration activated on the LCD monitor* or viewfinder.

USING AC POWER

Connect the AC Adapter to the camcorder ( step 2) and 3) of “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK”).

•The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.

ATTENTION

Before detaching the power source,

make sure that the camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a camcorder malfunction.

REFRESH:

Be sure to fully discharge a battery pack before recharging or storing it for a long period of time, otherwise the battery performance will be reduced.

1)Perform steps 1) through 3) of “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK”.

2)Press REFRESH r for over 2 seconds. The REFRESH lamp ( blinks to indicate discharging has started.

3)When discharging is finished, charging automatically starts and the CHARGE lamp * blinks.

•During charging or discharging, the camcorder cannot be operated.

•Charging and discharging is not possible if the wrong type of battery is used.

•When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE lamp * may not light. Remove the battery pack from the camcorder, then try charging again.

•If a fully-charged battery’s operation time remains extremely short, the battery is worn out. Please purchase a new one.

•Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to 25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

•Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

•Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

•The following operation stops charging or discharging:

•Set the Power Switch @ to “”, “” or “”.

•Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.

•Unplug the AC Adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.

•Detach the battery from the camcorder.

•Using the optional AA-V15 AC Power Adapter/ Charger, you can charge the BN-V11U/V12U/ V20U/V400U battery pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as an AC adapter.

•To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.

•Recording time is reduced significantly when Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly or the LCD monitor* is used repeatedly.

•Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.

* Applicable models only.
