Cautions for Using Battery Packs
Be sure to charge the Battery Packs before using them.
»Pay attention to the following points to avoid danger.
1. Do not throw the Battery Pack into fire.
2. Do not short-circuit the poles of the connector.
3. Do not disassemble or reconstruct the Battery Pack.
4. Use only the supplied AC Adaptor to charge Battery Packs.
»Follow the instructions below to avoid damage to the Battery
Packs or reduction of their service life.
1. Never subject the Battery Packs to strong shocks or drop
them.
2. Do not recharge a Battery Pack that is already fully charged.
»During operation of the VHS-C Movie or during recharging, the
Battery Pack may become warm however this does not pose any
problem.
►The service life of a Battery Pack has its limits. If the operation
time of a Battery Pack in spite of normal recharging becomes so
short that its normal use for shooting is no longer possible, it
should be replaced with a new one.
»The function of the Battery Pack is based on a chemical reaction.
Use it according to its characteristics.
1. Charge the Battery Pack within a temperature range of
10°C~35‘’C. If charged at lower temperatures, the chemical
reaction cannot take place optimally, causing the performance
of the Battery Pack to deteriorate. At higher temperatures, the
Battery Pack cannot be charged completely.
2. Store the Battery Pack in cool and dry place. If exposed to
high temperatures for a long time, the battery life will be
shortened and the self*dtscharging process will be increased.
3. Charge the Battery Pack before using it because self-
discharging may occur if it has not been used for a tong period
of time.
4. When not using the Battery Pack, remove it from the VHS-C
Movie or the AC Adaptor.
•When the VHS-C Movie is not actually being used, remove the
Battery Pack to avoid reduction of its service life.
