Additional Information
To charge the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date,
time, and other settings even when the
POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG).
The pre-installed rechargeable battery
is always charged while you are using
your camcorder but it will get discharged
gradually if you do not use your camcorder.
The rechargeable battery will be fully
discharged in
about 3 months if you do
not use your camcorder at all. However,
even if the pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder
operation will not be affected as long as
you are not recording the date.
 Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
using the AC adaptor supplied with your
camcorder, and leave your camcorder with
the POWER switch turned off for more
than 24 hours.

On the pickup lens
• Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover.
Keep the disc cover closed except when
inserting and removing the disc, to keep dust
out.
• When the camcorder does not work because the
pickup lens is dirty, clean it with a blower (not
supplied). Do not touch the pickup lens directly
during cleaning because this may cause the
camcorder to malfunction.

surface.
– in hot or humid locations

• Store the lens in a well-ventilated location
