Resuming use:
 It takes about 1 hour until the water droplets evaporate. After the condensation warning
stops flashing, wait for 1 more hour before resuming use.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
 Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the
day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
 Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
 Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder.
Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
 Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and
to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30
°C (86 °F). If you do not use
the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If
you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for all
battery packs.
 Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at
normal temperatures.
 Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 0
°C to 40 °C (32 °F
to 104
°F), the optimal range is from 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). At cold
temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.
About the battery terminal cover
The battery terminal cover has a [ ]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to
differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged
battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [
]-shaped hole shows the blue
label.
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C (140 °F). Do not
leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
