Attaching the Shoulder Strap
The camcorder’s shoulder strap is designed to let you carry the camcorder from your
shoulder and – when you are ready to shoot – bring the camcorder to shooting position
in one quick movement.
ToAttach the Shoulder Strap
1. Unfasten one end of the shoulder
strap from the buckle. Make sure you
leave the buckle on the strap.
2. Thread one end of the shoulder strap
through one of the shoulder strap rings
as shown below.
3. Thread the end of the strap back
through the buckle making sure it is
threaded over the outer strap. Make
sure the strap is not twisted.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to attach the other
end of the strap.
5. Pull on the straps and make sure they
are securely fastened before using the
shoulder strap to support your
camcorder.
Cautions: When carrying the
camcorder with the shoulder strap,
rotate the viewfinder up to its
original position. If the monitor is
open, close and lock it. This helps
prevent possible damage to the
viewfinder or monitor from
bumping against your body as you
move.
Make sure the shoulder strap is
firmly attached before using it
to carry the camcorder.

Powering Your Camcorder
Use the Adapter/Charger to Power Your Camcorder
The adapter/charger attaches to the camcorder and lets you power your camcorder
directly from standard household power. The adapter/charger operates on 120 volts,
50/60 Hz, and can be used to power the camcorder or recharge the battery.
Attach Adapter/Charger
1. Attach one end of the adapter/
charger’s DC cable to the DC
OUTPUT jack on the adapter/charger.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to
the DC IN 9.6V jack on the camcorder.
3. Plug the adapter/charger’s plug into an
operating outlet. The POWER
indicator on the adapter/charger lights
when it is properly connected.
Notes: The adapter/charger cannot charge the
battery and operate the camcorder at the same
time. If you connect both, the adapter/charger
powers the camcorder. Remove the adapter/
charger’s cable from the DC OUTPUT jack to
charge the battery.
When using the adapter/charger to power the
camcorder, the battery level indicator might
display . This indicator is used for
battery operation and has no meaning when
using the adapter/charger to power the
camcorder.
Remove Adapter/Charger
1. Unplug the adapter/charger from the
wall outlet.
2. Remove the DC cable from the
adapter/charger and camcorder.

Caution: Do not use this adapter/charger for any other purpose other than charging the
EP096FS or EP096FL battery pack or supplying power to the camcorder.
Caution: Do not attempt to use a “power converter” to use your AC adapter/
charger on a power source other than 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, or the adapter/charger
and camcorder may be damaged. If you wish to operate the AC adapter/charger
on a power source other than 120 volts, 50/60 Hz, use only a transformer-type
power converter. Do not use “solid-state” or “switching-type” power
converters. They will damage your AC adapter/charger. An optional
CPS014, shown on page 51, is designed for use on 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz.

Using the Battery
Charging
Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder
Charge the Battery
The battery must be charged before it can be used the first time. Initial charging takes
approximately two hours. The camcorder’s operating time depends on how often you
turn the power on and off and how much you use the monitor, zoom, and pause. To
conserve battery power, turn the camcorder off during recording breaks.
Charge the Battery
If the DC cable is attached to the
DC OUTPUT jack on the adapter/charger,
remove it.
1. Align reference mark on battery with
mark on adapter/charger.
2. Hold the battery flush against the
adapter/charger and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Plug adapter/charger into nearest AC
outlet (120V, 50/60Hz).
4. If the battery is properly connected,
the adapter/charger’s CHARGE
indicator lights.
Note: Your battery will provide better
service if you charge it before and after use
and store it at room temperature.
5. Remove the charged battery by sliding
it up and off the adapter/charger.
6. Attach the charged battery to the
camcorder as shown on the next page.
Caution: When a battery is attached to the adapter/charger, do
not turn them upside down. The battery might fall off and be
damaged or cause injury.

Battery Level Indicator
The battery level indicator appears in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor and
shows you the amount of power in the rechargeable battery.
Notes: When you record using the recharge-
able battery, the battery level indicator still
flashes to warn you of low battery power
even if you do not have the battery level
indicator displayed.
The battery level indicator isn’t recorded on
the tape.
The battery level indicator has no meaning
when you use the adapter/charger or optional
car cord to power the camcorder.
Note: If you can’t see the battery level
display, press DISPLAY.
• When appears, the battery is
fully charged.
• As the power is used and
appear.
• When the battery power is almost
gone, flashes in the viewfinder
or on the LCD monitor. Recharge the
battery or use the adapter/charger
before continuing to use the camcorder.
Set the CAMERA/OFF/VCR switch to
OFF to turn off the camcorder before
replacing the battery.
Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder (continued)
Cautions: When a battery reaches empty during use, the camcorder turns off.
The battery should still have enough reserve power to eject the cassette when
you press STOP/EJECT.
If the camcorder does not eject the cassette when you press STOP/EJECT, do
not force the cassette door open. This will damage your camcorder.
Before attempting to eject the cassette, power the camcorder with the adapter/
charger or recharge the battery.

Care and Storage
Safety Precautions
Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder (continued)
Battery Care
• Your battery will provide better service
and longer performance if you charge
if before and after use, and store it at
normal room temperature.
• The battery should be charged at a
temperature of 32ºF-95ºF (0ºC-35ºC)
to prevent damage.
• Do not operate the battery at tempera-
tures below 14ºF (-10ºC) or above 95ºF
(35ºC). You might damage the
battery if you use it at temperatures
above 122ºF (50ºC). Operation
time decreases at extremely low
temperatures.
• After repeated chargings and use
the operation time decreases. When
the operation time becomes too
short to be useful, it is time to
replace the battery.
Battery Storage
• Store the battery at normal room
temperature.
• Lead acid batteries discharge if not
used. Recharge the battery at least
once ever six months or you may not
be able to recharge it.
Battery Safety Precautions
• Batteries being recharged that have not
been used for an extended period may
continue to charge after the normal
time. Do not charge a battery for more
than 24 hours.
• If the CHARGE indicator on the
adapter/charger starts flashing, remove
the battery, and reattach it. If after
several attempts, the indicator contin-
ues to flash, your battery cannot take a
charge and must be replaced.
• Throwing the battery into a fire or
exposing the battery to excessive heat –
over 149ºF (65ºC) could be hazardous.
• A battery stored for long periods
might not supply power for the
specified time. Additional
rechargings might help restore
the battery’s operation time.
• Do not short the battery’s terminals.
• Allow the battery to cool down before
attaching it to the adapter/charger. The
CHARGE indicator will not light and
the battery will not charge if you attach
a hot battery.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or
modify the battery. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Use the battery only with specified AC
adapter/chargers and camcorders.
• If leakage from a damaged battery
contacts your skin or clothing, wash it
off immediately with running water.
