Charging the MP-EG10W’s built-in battery:
The MP-EG10W incorporates a battery to power the memory which stores the date/time and various set-
tings. This built-in battery will discharge after about two months, even if the MP-EG10W is not used. When
the battery will discharge, “—/—/—” will flash in the date/time digits. If you record in this state, the file will
be stored with the “—/—/—” date/time display, and the settings entered in various setting menus (see pages
93 - 103) will also be cleared and reset to the initial status, when you purchased the MP-EG10W.
To avoid loosing entered data, charge the built-in battery once about every two months.
Use one of the following two ways to charge the battery:
• Connect the AC adapter/charger to the MP-EG10W, and leave the MP-EG10W for about 24 hours with
the CAM/OFF/PLAY switch set to OFF.
• Load a charged battery pack and leave the MP-EG10W for about 24 hours with the CAM/OFF/PLAY
switch set to OFF.
If the date and time are incorrect:
When the incorrect recording date and time appear on the screen, charge the built-in battery by the pro-
cedure above, and correct the date and time on the DATE SET screen.
If the recording date and time are displayed incorrectly, the video data will be stored with the incorrect date
and time. To correct the date/time data, see “Correcting File Recording Date/Time” on page 64.
