The switch on the battery pack
This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery pack. Set the switch to
the "green mark" position when charging is completed. (When removed from the
charging adaptor, the switch exposes the green mark. When removed from your
camcorder, no mark is indicated.)
The life of the battery pack
If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully
charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged
Charging temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50°F to 86°F (from 10°C to 30°C).
Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
Notes on charging *.5 ■
A brand-new battery pack
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge the
battery. When the CHARGE lamp goes out, normal charge is completed. For full
charge, which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack in
place for approximately one hour.
Recharge the battery pack whenever you like
You do not have to discharge it before recharging. If you charged the battery pack fully
but you did not use it for a long time, it becomes discharged. Then recharge the battery
pack before use.
Notes on the terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery charge
duration will be shortened.-
When the terminals are not dean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long
time, repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a few times. This improves the
contact condition. Do not put any foreign objects such as dust or sand in the © and ©
terminals.
Be sure to observe the following
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
