Ricoh camcorders often come with a rechargeable battery. You can remove this battery from your camera and place it into a charger to power it up. If you aren't sure that the charger is functional, you can test it out to see if it works. The easiest way to test this device is to charge your battery. After wearing out your battery by using the camcorder, insert it in to your charger and see if it works.
Instructions
1. Turn on your camcorder and use it to record videos of what's going on around you. Use the device until it shuts down due to lack of battery power.
2. Remove the battery from the camcorder. This process will differ depending on your camcorder model; consult your device's manual if the procedure isn't obvious.
3. Slide the battery into the charger until it clicks in to place.
4. Plug the charger into a power source. An LED should light up to indicate that the battery is charging. If no LED lights up, your charger is not functioning properly.
5. Wait while the battery charges until the charge LED turns off or changes color. Remove the battery from the charger and install it in your camcorder.
6. Turn on the camcorder. If the camcorder works, the battery is charged and the charger is functioning. If the battery isn't fully charged or the device won't turn on, the charger is not working properly.
