PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that is has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16") or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
This unit stops automatically when excessive noise such as lightning is applied. When this happens (when the POWER LED goes out), unplug the power cord, leave it for a minute and then plug it in again. In an environment in which events such as lightning are expected often, use a product such as a surge absorber, which can be plugged into the AC line and may be purchased, separately from a store.

text_image
31 Make sure you unplug the DC cable from the AC Adapter/Charger. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC Adapter/Charger and the other end to the wall outlet. The POWER indicator lights.
2 Remove the battery pack's protective cap. Attach the battery pack with the ⊕⊖ mark aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE Indicator begins blinking to indicate charging has started. When two battery packs are attached, they will be recharged in the order that they are attached.
3 When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays lit, charging is finished. Slide the battery and lift off. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/Charger's power cord from the AC outlet.
MEMO:
- Perform charging where the temperature is between 10^ (50°F) and 35^ (95°F). 20^ (68°F) to 25^ (77°F) is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be incomplete.
- When plugging the power cord into an AC Adapter/Charger, push it all the way in until it stops.
* When charged at temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F).
- When charging Battery Packs after a long storage period, charging time will be longer than the time indicated above.

DURING USE ...
● The AC Adapter/Charger AA-P30 is specifically designed to charge the BN-V416, BN-V428 or BN-V438 Battery Packs. It cannot be used to charge a BN-V408.
- When charging a brand new Battery Pack, or one that's been in storage for an extended period, the Charging Indicator may not come on. In this case, remove the Battery Pack, then reattach and try charging again.
- If you connect the DC cable to the DC Connector while a Battery Pack is being charged, power will be supplied to the camcorder and charging will end incomplete.
- Vibration noise can sometimes be heard coming from the inside of the AC Adapter/Charger. This is normal.
● The AC Adapter/Charger processes electricity internally, and will become warm during use. This is normal. Make sure to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger in well-ventilated areas only.
- If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.
