Use and Care

Battery Packs

Battery Pack Consumption

Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming, and recording in low temperatures will somewhat shorten actual recording time.

Accordingly, be sure to turn off the power when not recording. Use of an auxiliary battery pack is recommended to prevent undesirable interruptions in your recording.

Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak battery pack. Such battery packs may cause the power to automatically stop during Camcorder operation to protect both the battery pack and the unit.

Battery power is consumed even when the Camcorder’s power is turned off. If the Camcorder will not be used, remove the battery pack. (See page 7.)

Note Use only the RCA BB45 or BB50 battery packs. They are designed specifically for use with this Camcorder.

Battery Pack Life

The battery pack has a limited service life. If the period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.

Extending Battery Pack Life

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

We recommend that you use the battery pack until its charge is fully drained and the Camcorder is inoperable before recharging the 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.

How to Use the Battery Pack Cover

After the battery pack is charged, put the cover on it so that the “CHARGE” mark printed on the label is seen through the window, as shown.

Before the battery pack is charged, put the cover upside down so that only the battery pack casing is seen through the window.

Temperature During Charging

The Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type BB45 battery pack can be charged at temperatures of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). To utilize the battery’s full capacity, it is recommended that charging take place at temperatures of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F).

The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BB50 battery pack can be charged at temperatures of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

Caution For safety, keep the battery pack in its protective cover when it is not being used. If the metal parts of the battery pack come in contact with other metal items, there is a danger that a short circuit may occur.
