Installing the backup battery
Open the backup battery cover on the battery
attachment unit, and insert the CR2025 lithium
battery with the + side facing outwards. Click the
cover back into place.
This backup battery allows the camcorder to
remember the date and time and other settings
when main power source is removed. It has a life
span of about a year.
When it needs replacing (or if it has not been
installed), the
y
mark flashes in the display.
Remove the old battery by pushing up then
releasing and lifting out. Make sure to attach a power source to the camcorder
first, so it will remember your chosen settings when you change the battery.
Taking care of the battery pack
B

Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to
touch the terminals, as this can cause
a short circuit and damage the battery
pack. Attach the terminal cover
whenever the battery pack is not
being used.
Keep the terminals clean.
• The camcorder, adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminals
are dirty. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.
Storing the battery pack.
• If you do not use a battery pack for a period of more than a few months any
remaining charge may cause damage to the battery pack, and reduce usage time.
To prevent damage therefore, aim to use a battery pack’s complete charge
before storage. See the optional battery pack’s instructions for further details.
