Battery Usage Hints

•Recording with many starts and stops, fre- quent zooming, and recording in low tem- peratures might shorten battery life. Be sure to slide POWER on the camcorder to OFF when not recording.

•Do not use the camcorder with a low or dis- charged battery pack attached. This might cause the camcorder to automatically stop during recording or playback, possibly damaging the tape, battery pack, and cam- corder.

•The camcorder consumes a small amount of battery power even when POWER is set to OFF. If you are not going to use the cam- corder for a long time, remove the battery pack from the camcorder.

•Recharge the battery pack immediately after you record. Leaving the battery dis- charged can damage it, preventing further recharging and use.

•If you recharged the battery pack then stored it for a long period of time, recharge it again before you connect it to the cam- corder. Batteries stored for an extended time lose some power, resulting in decreased battery life and recording time.

•Recharge the battery pack at least once every 6 months, even when it is not used.

•Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.

Important: This product contains a recharge- able lead-acid battery. At the end of the battery’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be available are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off box- es at retailers, recycling collection centers, and mailback programs.
