NOTE

Getting Started

Charging the battery

You must use the supplied Mini USB cable or AC adaptor (AC adaptor may be sold separately) to charge your camcorder before use. Turn OFF the camcorder before connecting the cable. A blinking light indicates active charging and a solid light indicates that charging is complete.

In AC charging mode, the solid light will turn off automatically after a few minutes. It may take up to 8.5 hours to charge the battery via USB and up to 4 hours via AC adaptor. (Actual time may vary.)

(Sample Illustration) Charging the battery

Be sure to remove the protective film on the lens before using.

Getting Started

Charging the battery

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.

❖ Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery, hit

battery with a hammer or other object or step on it. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Never charge the battery by a method other than as instructed.

Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Never connect the battery to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug

socket. The battery could rupture or ignite causing a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Never allow a battery to become wet. A wet battery will overheat

or ignite causing rupture or fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

❖ Never store a battery in an area of high humidity. This could

cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.

Getting Started

Charging the battery

❖ Never expose a battery to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure.

Never use a battery which has been exposed to abnormal shock even if the appearance is normal. The battery’s internal protective device could fail, causing it to overheat or ignite resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

❖ Never subject a battery to heat, and never store it or use it near a

heat source. The battery could ignite or explode when heated or burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. Subjecting a battery to heat could also cause caustic liquid to leak. It can also cause failure, malfunction, or loss of stored data.

Use of correct battery

❖ Always use the battery supplied. Other batteries have different

voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming batteries could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Battery safety

❖ Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery to

contact your eyes, body or clothing. Use appropriate protective gloves when handling a damaged

battery. If caustic electrolyte fluid from the battery should contact your

eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts of running water and obtain prompt medical attention, to help prevent permanent eye damage.

If electrolyte fluid should contact any part of your body, immediately wash it off under running water to help prevent skin rashes.

If electrolyte fluid should contact your clothes, promptly remove them to help prevent the electrolyte fluid from contacting your body, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Getting Started

Charging the battery

Battery warning indicators

❖ Always immediately turn the power OFF and disconnect the

power cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the battery if you observe any of the following conditions:

❖ Offensive or unusual odor ❖ Excessive heat ❖ Discoloration ❖ Deformation, cracks or leaks ❖ Smoke ❖ Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound

In such an event, carefully and immediately remove the battery from the product. In some instances, you might have to wait for the product to cool down before removing the battery, in order to avoid any possible minor injury due to heat exposure. Do not turn on the product’s power again until an authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety. Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or product failure including but not limited to the loss of data.

Disposal of used batteries

❖ Always dispose of used batteries in compliance with all

applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.

❖ Make sure the battery is securely installed in the product before

attempting to charge the battery.

❖ Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the

battery to rupture.

NOTE

Getting Started

Charging the battery

❖ The battery is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not

replaced, used, handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

❖ Charge the battery only in an ambient temperature between 14

and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 and 40 degrees Celsius). Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be shortened.

❖ Never install or remove the battery without first turning OFF the

power and disconnecting the AC adaptor (AC adaptor may be sold separately).

Inserting the battery

❖ When installing a battery or before moving the product, always

make sure the battery is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery falls out, while you are carrying the product, you could be injured or the battery could be damaged.

Do not use an impaired or exhausted battery

❖ Never continue to use a battery after its recharging capability has

become impaired, or after the warning message indicating that the battery power is exhausted has been displayed.

Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery could result in the loss of data or damage to the product.

Handling of the battery

❖ Never attempt to install batteries in reverse polarity.

Getting Started

NOTE

To remove the SD™ Card, press inward to release it. When the card pops out, grasp it and pull it

straight out.

NOTE

Inserting and removing an SD™ Card (optional)
