Introduction DV-5100HD
Getting Started
The camcorder is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (PAC-
0040) battery. On delivery, the battery is not charged. Please
charge the battery before first use of the device.
Charging the Battery
Insert the rechargeable battery in the charger cradle Scope
DJ04V20500A so that the contacts [+] and [-] correspond to the
rechargeable battery and charging tray markings.
Make sure that the battery clicks into place on the charger. Next
connect the power cord to the charger and plug the power cord to a
wall outlet.
To supply power to the camera, only use the
rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery PAC-0040 or 4x
1.5V AAA batteries (LR03).
Remove the rechargeable battery from the camera
when the device is not to be used for a long time.
During charging, the rechargeable battery and
charging device will become warm. This is not a
malfunction.
18 - English
DV-5100HD Introduction
The status indicator of the charging cradle will light orange whilst
the battery is charging. When the charging process is completed,
the status indicator will light green. Now you can insert the
rechargeable battery into the camcorder. Depending on the charge
level, the charging cycle can take up to 2 hours.
If, after inserting the rechargeable battery, the
indicator remains green, this means the rechargeable
battery is already charged or it is not correctly
inserted. In this case, check the polarity.
Inserting the Battery
When the battery is fully charged, insert it into the camcorder as
below. To do this, open the battery compartment by gently pushing
on the marking and sliding it outwards (see figure 1).

Next insert the battery into the camera, as shown in figure 2. Close
the battery compartment by placing the cover on it and sliding it
inwards until it clicks into place (see figures 3 and 4).
You may optionally power the camcorder by using conventional
batteries. To do so use four AAA-sized batteries, 1.5V. Insert the
conventional batteries instead of the rechargeable battery into the
battery compartment. Always pay attention to the polarity. The
polarity is indicated with the symbols + and – on the batteries and
on the inside of the battery compartment cover.
