Vintage GE 9-9808 SE Movie Video System Camcorder

Vintage GE 9-9808 SE Movie Video System Camcorder.  I plugged it in and it powers up.  I'm not sure how to turn the white screen off to see what you would be recording.  You can see the power up white screen in the eye piece picture.  I don't have a blank tape to try it out.  Maybe there's a button I'm not seeing. Not sure if battery holds a charge. There's a remote record button with a long cord.  Battery and charger.  Comes with locking hard case.
