On charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date, time,
and other settings even when the POWER
switch is set to OFF (CHG). The pre-
installed rechargeable battery is always
charged while your camcorder is connected
to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC
Adaptor or while the battery pack is
attached. The pre-installed rechargeable
battery will be fully discharged in about
3
months
if you do not use your camcorder
at all. Use your camcorder after charging
the pre-installed rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed
rechargeable battery is not charged, the
camcorder operation will not be affected as
long as you are not recording the date.
x
Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
(wall socket) using the supplied AC
Adaptor, and leave it with the POWER
switch set to OFF (CHG) for more than 24
hours.
