PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY
PACK
●
When the battery pack is not in use, it must be
stored in a cool, dry place.
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where
it might be subject to high temperatures (under
direct sunlight in a car, etc.), as this could cause
battery leakage or shorten the service life.
●
When the terminal section of the battery pack
gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened.
●
If the operating time becomes greatly reduced
even immediately after recharging, the service
life of the battery pack is nearly finished.
Purchase a new battery pack.
Recharging
●
Recharge the battery pack after completely
discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual
charge remaining could result in reduced battery
capacity.
●
If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating
incomplete recharging, or recharging without
discharging, once discharge the battery pack
completely, then recharge it to restore the battery
capacity.
●
If the battery pack is recharged with its internal
temperature raised immediately after use,
recharging may not be performed completely .
Remaining
Battery Power
After the remaining battery power indication
starts blinking, recording can be continued for
approx. 5 minutes.
