CAUTION
Do not charge the battery pack immediately after the camcorder has
been in continuous use for a long time
i The battery pack becomes hot when the camcorder is used continuously
for a long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the
multi-indicator may flash orange and it may not be possible to charge the
battery pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before
attempting to charge it.
Does the battery pack appear swollen?
i The lithium-ion battery used in this camcorder may expand slightly when
stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety
hazard. However, a battery that is difficult to insert because it has become
swollen may then be impossible to extract from the battery compartment.
In this case, please discontinue its use and replace it with a new battery.
Do not use the battery with the outer covering or label removed
i Doing so may result in malfunction.

About the internal backup battery
i This camcorder’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camcorder continuously for
about 2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain
the camcorder settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camcorder for a long time, remove the battery pack
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camcorder is turned off,
and it is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from
the camcorder if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when
the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings
may be cleared. Before using your camcorder again, be sure to confirm
that the camcorder settings are correct.
Recharging when connected to the USB terminal
i The battery can be recharged while the camcorder is connected to a
computer.
i Note, however, that the time it takes to recharge will differ depending on
the camcorder’s operating condition.
i Connect the dedicated USB interface cable to the USB connector on your
computer. Do not connect it to the USB connector on the monitor or the
keyboard, or to the USB hub.
i If the camcorder is not going to be used for an extended period of time,
please disconnect the dedicated USB interface cable from the camcorder.
