Notes regarding the Battery Pack

•Please refer to the table on page 15 for approximate continuous recording time.

•The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

•The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment, as the environmental temperature and conditions vary.

•The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 25 °C (77 °F). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.

•When purchasing a new battery pack, we recommend buying the same battery pack that is provided with this camcorder. The battery pack is available at SAMSUNG retailers.

•When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. Batteries should be handled as chemical waste.

•Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

•A brand new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.

•The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged. Fully discharging a battery pack damages the internal cells.

•To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

•If your camcorder is in Camera mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

•Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.

CONNECTING A POWER SOURCE

•There are two types of power source that can be connected to your camcorder.

-The AC Power Adapter: used for indoor recording.

-The Battery Pack: used for outdoor recording.
