How much power is left?

The battery symbols indicate the charge status of the battery

pack.

When the battery pack is empty, “CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK”

appears for 4 seconds and

starts flashing.

The battery charge indicators are not constant – they vary

according to the condition under which battery pack and

camcorder are used.

Battery Pack Handling Precautions

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60º C. Do not leave

it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.

• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

• Do not drop or knock it.

• Do not get it wet.

❍

Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on

the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

❍

Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic

objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.

❍

Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the

camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.

❍

Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its

lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully

and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30˚ C. If you do not

use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a

year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same

time for all battery packs.

❍

Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 0˚ C to 40˚ C, the

optimal range is from 10˚ C to 30˚ C. At cold temperatures, performance will

temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.

❍

Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially

at normal temperatures.
