Initial Setup
Note
The camcorder is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the
date and time in memory. If the built-in battery is depleted, the date and time
will need to be reset. Periodically (once every six months) recharge the
internal battery by connecting the camcorder to the mains or attaching a
charged battery pack to the camcorder while leaving the camcorder turned off
for 24 hours.
