5-5 Charging the Built-in Battery
The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data. The built-in battery is constantly being
charge whenever the GY-DV5100 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-DV5100 is disconnected
from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-DV5100 is not used for about three months, in which case
the set date and time and time code data are reset. In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and
time code data again.
However, it is possible to use the GY-DV5100 even if the bulit-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data
cannot be recorded.
