On charging the built-in rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and
other settings even when the power is off. The built-in rechargeable battery is
always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall outlet via the AC
power adaptor or while the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable battery
will be fully discharged in about 6 months if you do not use your camcorder at all.
Use your camcorder after charging the built-in rechargeable battery. If the built-
in rechargeable battery is not charged, any input data will not be backed up and
the date/time appears on the screen as “
JAN/01/2008 12:00 AM
” (when “
Date/
Time
” display is set to On).
• You can set the year up to 2038.
