When the camcorder can't be turned on, check the following.

• When using an AC adaptor, connect the adaptor tightly to the camcorder and a wall outlet.

• When using a battery, turn on the camcorder again after charging the battery as it may be run out.

Note when charging a battery:

• If the CHG (charge) lamp does not light or flash while charging, the terminals may be dirty. Wipe the dust away with a dry cloth. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metals.
• Use Sony battery and battery charger. The use of counterfeit products may cause a malfunction.
• We recommend charging the battery under the environment of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the CHG (charge) lamp goes off.
