Note on mains disconnection

The charger supplied consumes electrical energy even if there is no battery inserted. Therefore, disconnect the charger from the wall outlet when it is not in use. In order to disconnect the charger from the mains completely, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. The wall outlet where the device is connected must be easily accessible so that the power cord can be pulled out quickly in the event of an emergency. Unplug the power cord from the mains when there is the possibility of a thunderstorm or if you will not be using the device for a while (e.g. when you go on holiday) in order to prevent the risk of fire. Never hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric shock.

Children and persons with disabilities

Do not allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices when not under supervision. They may not comprehend the potential risks. Batteries and small parts are potential choking hazards. Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep all packaging film away from children as it may cause suffocation.

Charger and battery pack

Always insert the battery pack with the correct polarity. Please note the chapter on "Charging the battery in the charger" on page 288 and "Inserting the battery pack" on page 291. Never throw a battery pack into a fire. Remove the battery pack if you do not plan to use the device for a while.

Unplug the power cord from the mains before removing the battery pack from the charger or disconnecting the charger from the power cord.

Warning: risk of explosion!

Improper use could cause explosions or leaks. Only replace the battery pack with an identical model or a type recommended by the manufacturer. Never replace batteries in an explosion-sensitive environment. Inserting or removing the batteries could cause a spark which could trigger an explosion. Explosion-sensitive areas are normally (but not always) labelled. These include fuel storage areas such as below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air contains inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, dust or metal powder) and any areas where you should normally switch off your car engine.

Respect the environment. Old batteries must not be disposed of with domestic waste. They must be handed in at a collection point for waste batteries.

Cables

Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never place the device, furniture or other heavy objects on the cable and make sure that the cord does not get trapped, especially near the plug and sockets. Never tie knots in the cable and do not tie it to other cables. All cables should be laid so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or electric shock. Check the power cord from time to time. Do not use adapters or extension cables that do not meet the required safety standards.

Before you start

The camcorder functions with a rechargeable lithium-ion (CA NP-40) battery pack. On delivery, the battery pack is not charged. Please charge the battery pack before using the device for the first time.

To operate the camera, only use the CA NP-40 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack from FUJI Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd..

Charging the battery in the charger

Insert the battery pack in the charger cradle so that the [+] and [-] contacts match on the battery pack and charger cradle.

Make sure that the battery pack clicks into place on the charger. Next, connect the power cord to the charger and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

Remove the battery pack from the camera when you do not plan to use it for a long time.

When charging, the battery pack and charging device become warm. This is not a malfunction.

The status light on the charging cradle is orange while the battery is charging. When the charging process is complete, the status light goes green. You can then insert the battery pack into the camcorder. Depending on the charge level, the battery pack can take up to 3 hours to charge.

If the light stays green when you insert the battery pack, it is already fully charged on not correctly inserted. In this case, check the polarity.

Charging the battery pack while in the camcorder

It is also possible to recharge the camcorder battery pack via the USB power of a computer. To do this, you will need the USB/AV cable supplied.

• Insert the battery pack into the camcorder (see page 291).
• Use the USB/AV cable supplied to connect the camcorder to an available USB port on a computer.

• Please make sure that your camcorder is switched off. If the device is switched on, its battery pack will not recharge. If necessary, press the On/Off button (12) to switch the camcorder off.
• The power indicator (5) goes orange during charging. The power indicator goes out when the charging process is complete.

Some computers do not supply USB power while they are turned off. If the camcorder power light does not come on, make sure your computer is switched on.

In addition to the options above, you can also connect the camcorder to an external USB power adapter (not supplied) in order to charge the battery pack or power the camcorder. To do this, you will need the USB/AV cable supplied. You can purchase a suitable 5V USB power adapter with at least 2A from any electronics retail outlet.

When the battery pack is fully charged, insert it into the camcorder. Proceed as follows:

Open the battery/memory card compartment (19) by sliding the battery/memory compartment unlock catch (LOCK) (20) to the left in the direction of the arrow (see figure).

If you have been using the camcorder under water, before opening the battery/memory card compartment and/or the ports cover, wait for the camcorder to dry completely. Have an absorbent cloth ready when opening the covers and remove any water and dirt around the covers.

The battery/memory card compartment (19) opens up so you can insert the battery pack. Make sure that the [+] and [-] contact markings on the battery pack and in the battery/memory card compartment match. When inserting the battery pack, press the lock downwards and make sure that it clicks in place.

When removing the battery pack, press the battery lock slightly downwards in order to release the battery pack.

Power the device off before you insert or remove a memory card.

Open the battery/memory card compartment (19) by sliding the battery/memory compartment unlock catch (LOCK) (19) to the left in the direction of the arrow (see figure).

If you have been using the camcorder under water, before opening the battery/memory card compartment and/or the ports cover, wait for the camcorder to dry completely. Have an absorbent cloth ready when opening the covers and remove any water and dirt around the covers.

Then insert the memory card with the metal contacts facing forwards into the card slot. The label must face upwards. Slide the card fully into the slot until it clicks into place.

To remove the memory card, open the battery/memory card compartment (19) and gently press on the inserted card. This is then ejected slightly so that you can get hold of it and remove it.

Close the battery/memory card compartment (19) cover and press it downwards until it clicks in place.

Make sure that the battery/memory compartment has been closed properly, in order for the device to be water-resistant.
