Charging the built-in rechargeable battery
Your camcorder is supplied with a built-in rechargeable battery installed so as to retain
the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The built-in
rechargeable battery is always charged as long as you are using your camcorder. The
battery, however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camcorder. It
will be completely discharged in about three months if you do not use your
camcorder at all. Even if the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged, it will not
affect your camcorder operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if
the battery is discharged.
