• Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally,
it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in
weft-ventilated areas.
• The following operation stops charging:
• Set the Power Switch _) to "PLAY", "Q" or "[] ".
• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
• Unplug the AC Adapter from the AC outlet.
• Detach the battery from the camcorder.
• This camcorder witl be automatically turned off if its power
is supplied from the AC adapter and about 5 minutes pass
since it has entered into the recording standby mode with
a cassette insetted. If, under those conditions, the battery

as an AC adapter.
• To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC
Adapter near a radio.
• Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C
and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F)
is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the
environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.

About Batteries
DANGER! DO not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a
short circuit and possiblystart a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large
power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C/5O°F), its usage time
becomes shorter and it may cease to function. Ifthis
happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other
warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it
to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is
not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you're using a heating pad, make sure the battery
pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

TAPE RECORDING 13

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape.
This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code
begins counting from "00:00:g0" (minute:second:frame).
If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway
through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When
recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up
again from "0g:00:00". This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing in a
previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
"RECORDING FROM THE MIDDLE OF A TAPE" in the
following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a recorded
tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located partway
through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then
