Charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable
battery to retain the date, time, and other settings
even when the POWER switch is set to OFF. The
pre-installed rechargeable battery is always
charged while your camcorder is connected to the
wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor or
while the battery pack is attached. The
rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in
about
3 months
if you do not use your
camcorder at all without the AC Adaptor
connected or the battery pack attached. Use your
camcorder after charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder operation
will not be affected as long as you are not
recording the date.

Note on disposal/transfer of the
recording media
Even if you format the recording media or delete
data from the recording media using your
camcorder or computer, you cannot delete data
from the recording media completely.
When you transfer the recording media or your
camcorder, it is recommended that you delete the
data completely using commercially available
data deletion software to prevent the recovery of
your data. Also, when you dispose of the
recording media, it is recommended that you
destroy the actual body of the recording media.
