Solution
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
When using the CG-800 Battery Charger, an ambient temperature between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F) is recommended. For safety reasons, charging outside of the recommended temperature range may result in considerably longer charging times. Charging will not start if either the battery or ambient temperature is outside of an approximate 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F) range.
The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.
If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.
Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
Caution
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After pressing ⋖POWER⋗ to turn off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to wait until the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
