Tips for using the battery pack
Battery pack care
•
Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using it,
and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current
flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. This shortens battery
life.
•The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging.
Therefore, you should charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder.
Be sure to observe the following
•Keep the battery pack away from fire.
•Keep the battery pack dry.
•Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack.
•Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
The switch on the battery pack
When the switch is supplied with the battery pack you can use it to find whether the
battery pack is charged or not. Set the switch to the “green mark” position when
charging is completed. (When removed from the charging adaptor, the switch exposes
the green mark. When removed from your camcorder, no mark is indicated.)
The life of the battery pack
If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully
charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one.
Charging temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50°F to 86°F (from 10°C to 30°C).
Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
Notes on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
What is the “InfoLITHIUM”
The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that you
use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with video equipment having the
mark.
When you use this battery pack with video equipment having the
mark, the
video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes
∗
. However, if you
use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity will
not be indicated in minutes.
∗
The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment
which the equipment is used under.
