Caution: When the battery reaches its empty level during use, the camcorder will
turn off. However, the battery should 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 your camcorder with the
adapter/charger or recharge the battery.
Check Battery Power (Battery Level Indicator)
• When the battery reaches the empty
level, will start flashing.
Recharge the battery or attach the
adapter/charger before continuing to
use the camcorder.
Notes: The battery level indicator has no
meaning when you power the camcorder with
the adapter/charger or optional car cord.
When a rechargeable battery is used to power
the camcorder, flashes even if
DISPLAY is not pressed to warn you that the
battery power level is low.
