However, a shorter charging time means a shorter useable time.Charging time and “10-minute charging/approx.55-minute recording”The times shown are the approximate continuous recording times at an ambienttemperature of 25 °C (77 °F) when using an NP-FV70 rechargeable battery pack (soldseparately) and a video camera that has a power consumption of 1.8W when usedwithout its LCD display.This is when using a battery pack immediately after running it down with a videocamera. It does not include a battery pack that has deteriorated, for example becauseit has not been used for a long time.There are two kinds of charging, normal charge and full charge.Generally, the charging time and available recording time vary depending on thebattery pack and conditions of use.NotesIf the mode switch is set to VCR/CAMERA during charging, charging stops.If the CHARGE lamp does not light up or blink, check that the battery pack iscorrectly attached to the AC Adaptor/Charger. If it is not correctly attached, it willnot be charged.If anything goes wrong during charging, the charge lamp blinks and “WARNING”appears on the display. For details, see “Troubleshooting”.To Check Charging See illustration .When charging starts, the battery life or the battery remaining % indication* lightsup in the display window (*when using the battery pack V series). The batterylife displayed is the approximate time remaining for recording images using theviewfinder. The battery life is shorter if the LCD display is used.The battery life may not be displayed with certain video cameras. For details, refer to“Notes on the BATTERY LIFE indicator and the Battery remaining % indication”.Press DISPLAY during charging.During charging, the contents of the display window change each time you pressthe DISPLAY change button. The slot indicator lamp shows the slot number for thebattery information displayed. When two battery packs are installed simultaneously,the time display of the battery pack not being charged returns automatically afterabout 10 seconds to the time display of the battery pack being charged.Here is an example of installing a battery pack in Slot followed by another in Slot.The slot indicator lamp corresponds to the slot number. Battery life if the first installed battery pack is installed in your“InfoLITHIUM” electronic equipment. Remaining time until normal charging of the first installed batterypack is complete.The normal charge time is not displayed after full charging is complete. Remaining time until full charging of the first installed battery packis complete.The full charge time is not displayed after full charging is complete.This is not displayed when two battery packs are installed simultaneously. Battery life if the last installed battery pack is installed in your“InfoLITHIUM” electronic equipment. Remaining time until normal charging of the last installed batterypack is complete.The normal charge time is not displayed after full charging is complete. Remaining time until full charging of the last installed battery packis complete.The full charge time is not displayed after full charging is complete.NotesThe time display or the remaining battery capacity when charging at 25 °C (77 °F)are approximate. They may differ from the actual time and remaining batterycapacity depending on the environment of use.It may take some time after pressing DISPLAY for the time to be displayed.The time display of the battery pack on the side not being charged may take sometime to appear.To display the battery life of a new battery pack, first install it in your videocamera recorder and use it for about 20 seconds, and then charge it with this unit.If you install a fully charged battery pack in this unit, “TIME TO CHG FULL 1h”may appear on the display. This is not a malfunction.The time display may show “– – – –” in the following cases. This is not amalfunction.There is a difference between the time display and actual charging time. Even ifthis happens, continue charging.When charging a battery other than an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (Batterylife display and other functions are not available.)In the following cases, there may be some deviation in the time display. This is nota malfunction.If the battery pack is removed from this unit after normal charge is finished butbefore full charge is finished. (It takes about one hour from when normal chargeis complete to when full charge is complete.)When charging a battery pack that has not been use for a long time. (Fullycharge once first.)When charging a P series “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack, it may take about oneminute after installing the battery pack for the time to appear in the displaywindow.Full charging requires about one hour after normal charging is complete.When charging a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the displayedbattery life and full charge time sometimes differ from the actual times. This is nota malfunction. If this happens, fully charge the battery pack.
