Tips for using the battery pack
About (S^mtoummu batteries
The InfoLITHIUM is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that you
use the InfoLITHIUM battery pack with video equipment having the
(Dinhumiuu mark.
When you use this battery pack with video equipment having the (¡)inioumiuu mark, the
video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes*. However, if you
use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity will
not be indicated in minutes.
• The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment
which the equipment is used under. If the indication is not accurate, use the battery
pack completely and then charge it fully. The indication will become accurate.
However, the indication may not become accurate if you use or leave the battery pack
in a warm place for a long time, or after you have used the battery pack many times.
Battery pack care
• Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current
flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. This shortens battery
life.
• The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging.
Therefore, you should charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder.
Notes on the Battery Case
• Use only with alkaline batteries. You cannot use the battery case with
manganese batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• Battery life is remarkably shorter in a cold environment (lower than 50'’F/10°C).
• Keep the metal part clean. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Do not disassemble or convert the battery case.
• Do not expose the battery case to any mechanical shock.
• During recording, the battery case heats up. This is not cause for concern.
• Prevent the electrode in the battery case from coming in contact with a metal object.
• If you will not use the battery case for a long time, detach the battery case from the
camcorder and remove the batteries from the battery case.
Note on Alkaline Batteries
To avoid possible damage from battery leakage or corrosion, observe the following.
• Be sure to insert the batteries in the correct direction.
• Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable.
• Do not use a combination of new and old batteries.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• The batteries slowly discharge while not in use.
• Do not use a battery that is leaking.
If battery leakage occurred
• Wipe off the liquid in the battery case carefully before replacing the batteries.
• If you touch the liquid, wash it off with water.
• If the liquid get into your eyes, wash your eyes with a lot of water and then consult a
doctor.
