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.
(Sample Illustration) Charging the battery
Handling of the battery
Never attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing
Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery.
Never short-circuit the battery by either accidentally or
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.
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.
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.
Getting Started
Loading the battery
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.
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.

Loading the battery
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.
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 odorExcessive heatDiscolorationDeformation, cracks or leaksSmokeOther unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound

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.
Getting Started
Loading the battery
Disposal of used batteries
