About the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery

This camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to retain the date, time and other settings. The
built-in battery is recharged every time you use the camcorder. However, when you use the camcorder
for only short times or do not use it for a period of over 3 months, it will discharge completely. In that
case, recharge the built-in battery by powering the camcorder from a power outlet and leaving it with the

dial set to OFF for at least 24 hours.



Disconnect the DC coupler from the power adapter when charging a battery pack.



Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.



If the adapter is used close to a TV, it may cause picture interference. Move the adapter away from
the TV or the antenna cable.



Do not connect to the power adapter any products not expressly recommended for use with this
camcorder.



If you connect a faulty power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator turns off and the
charging will stop.



The charge indicator serves also as an indication about the charge status.

We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. The charging
time will vary depending on the surrounding temperature and the battery’s initial charge condition.



In cold places the effective usage time of the battery will decrease.



We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.



To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
