Connections & Setup
This icon appears when the battery is fully charged.
The icon changes to show that you’ve used some of the battery’s
power.
As you use more of the battery’s power, the icon changes again.
This battery icon flashes in the viewfinder or LCD monitor when the
battery power is almost gone. The camcorder turns off automatically
after a few seconds.
Battery Level Icon
The battery level icon appears in the viewfinder or
LCD monitor and reveals the amount of power left in
the rechargeable battery.
Note
: The battery level icon is not recorded
on the tape.
Battery Care and Storage
•
After repeated charging and use, battery life gradually decreases. When operation
time is too short to be useful, the battery should be replaced.
•
If the battery pack becomes too hot, remove it from the camcorder and let it cool
down.
•
Do not short the battery’s terminals.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
•
Use the battery only with specified adapter/chargers and camcorders.
•
Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing it to excessive heat – over 149˚F (65˚C)
could be hazardous.
