Rechargeable Battery
The battery must be charged
as described on the next page
before it can be used the
first time. Initial charging takes approximately 70 minutes. When fully charged, the
battery supplies approximately 80-90 minutes of operating time – depending on how
much you use the monitor, zoom, and pause. Conserve battery power by turning the
camcorder off during recording breaks.
Note
: Use the small marker switch on the top of the battery to help remind yourself to charge
the battery. It has no other purpose.
