Notes

The use of the zoom and other functions and outdoor recording (see page 13) increases the power consumption, so that the actual recording time per Battery Pack may actually be 30%-50% less than the max. continuous recording time listed above.

The battery pack and charger become warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.

The charging time and recording time depend on the ambient temperature and the condition of the battery pack.

Extending Battery Pack Life

This Camcorder uses a Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type battery pack.

After approximately nine or ten rechargings, use the battery pack until its charge is fully drained and the camcorder stops operating before recharging. This will help extend the operating time of the battery pack.

Recharge the battery pack right before recording. A battery pack stored for an extended time will naturally wear down, resulting in decreased recording time.

Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery pack before it has been discharged, as this will cause deterioration of the battery’s capacity.

Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.

Cautions

Charge only RCA model BB45 or BB50 battery packs. Other types of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.

If the power source becomes disconnected during recording, playback, or other operations, the tape will remain wrapped around the drum, causing possible damage to the tape. Reconnect the power source to the main unit immediately.
