Charging time and battery life
estimates for the supplied battery
• The above times are estimates for playing back
continuously recorded clips in AVC-Intra 100 to
an E-series P2 card.
• The above values apply at ambient 20 °C
(68 °F) and 60 % relative humidity. Charging
time may be longer under other conditions.
• The battery becomes hot during usage and
charging.
• When the battery temperature becomes
excessively high or low, or it has become
discharged after a long period of inactivity, the
CHARGE lamp may flash two or three times
before automatic charging starts.
• If the CHARGE lamp continues flashing when
the battery is at normal temperature, it may be
defective and you should contact your
supplier.
• Charging time becomes longer for a hot
battery.
• Using the charger or AC adaptor near a radio
may interfere with radio reception. Place the
charger or AC adaptor at least 1 meter away
from a radio.
• The charger may emit noise during charging.
This is not a malfunction.
• No guarantees are given for the operation of
the CGR-D16/CGR-D16s (1600 mAh) battery
