When to recharge
You can recharge a lithium ion battery pack whenever it is convenient. Unlike a
conventional battery pack, it does not have to be fully discharged first. However,
as the battery pack will naturally discharge itself over time, it is best to charge it
the same day you plan to use it, or the day before.
Taking care of the battery pack
Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to
touch the terminals, as this can cause
a short circuit and damage the battery
pack. Attach the terminal cover
whenever the battery pack is not
being used.
Keep the terminals clean.
• The camcorder adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminal
are dirty. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.
Storing the battery pack
• Storing a charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can
shorten its lifecycle or affect performance. We recommend to discharge the
battery pack in the camcorder fully and to store it in a dry place. If you do not
use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it
fully in the camcorder at least once a year before returning it to storage.

CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK
The indicator in the display shows you
approximately how much charge the
battery pack has left:
Notes:
• When the power is completely
exhausted, “CHANGE THE
BATTERY PACK” appears in the
display for 4 seconds and the empty
battery mark starts to flash. The
power indicator light also flashes.
• The indicator is not constant —
different levels will be shown when
you subject the battery pack and
camcorder to different conditions.
