(1) Connect the AC power adaptor to a wall outlet.

(2) Align the surface of the battery pack indicated by the z mark with the edge of the terminal shutter

of the AC power adaptor.  Then fit and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow.

The CHARGE lamp (orange) lights up.  Charging begins.

When charging is completed, the CHARGE lamp goes out.  Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, then

remove the battery pack and install it on the camcorder.
