Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
✤ Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
✤ To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
✤ If your device is in Camcorder mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a
tape loaded, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
✤ Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.
✤ The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.
✤ Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
✤ It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when recording for long periods, because the LCD
monitor consumes more battery power.
✤ Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully
discharged.
✤ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
✳ When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.
✳ Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.
