About Batteries
DANGER!
Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING!
Do not allow the battery or its terminals to
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a
short circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large
power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes
shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens,
place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm,
protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the
camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not
cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery
pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
●
Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally,
it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in
well-ventilated areas.
●
The following operation stops charging:
• Set the Power Switch
u
to “PLAY”, “
” or “
”.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
• Unplug the AC Adapter from the AC outlet.
• Detach the battery from the camcorder.
●
This camcorder will be automatically turned off if its power
is supplied from the AC adapter and about 5 minutes pass
since it has entered into the recording standby mode with
a cassette inserted. If, under those conditions, the battery
is attached to the camcorder, its charging will start.
●
Using the optional AA-V40 AC Power Adapter/Charger,
you can charge the BN-V408U/V416U/V428U battery
pack without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used
as an AC adapter.
●
To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC
Adapter near a radio.
●
Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C
and 35°C. 20°C to 25°C is the ideal temperature range for
charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may be
incomplete.
●
Charging time varies according to the ambient
temperature and the status of the battery pack.
