Maintaining the battery pack

preparation

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

•The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77 °F (25 °C).As the environmental temperature and conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.

•We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

•Clean the terminals to remove any foreign substances before inserting the battery.

•Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. ﬁ re or a heater).

•Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

•Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited.

It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or ﬁ re.

- Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.

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

•Remove from charger or powered unit when not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the memory camcorder.

•When not using the memory camcorder for an extended period:

It is recommended that you fully charge the battery pack once a year, attach it to memory camcorder and use it up

: then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool place again.

About the battery life

•Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.

If decreased usage time between charges becomes signiﬁ cant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

•Each battery's life is governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

Use only approved battery packs.

Otherwise, there is a danger of overheating, ﬁ re or explosion. Samsung is not responsible for problems occurring due to using unapproved batteries.

Mantenimiento de la batería

•El tiempo de grabación se ve afectado por las condiciones ambientales y la temperatura.

•El tiempo de grabación se acorta enormemente en un ambiente frío. Los tiempos de grabación continua en las instrucciones de funcionamiento se miden utilizando una batería totalmente cargada a 25 °C (77 °F). Conforme la temperatura y las condiciones ambientales varíen, el tiempo restante de la batería puede diferir de los tiempos de grabación continuos facilitados en las instrucciones.

•Recomendamos únicamente el uso de la batería original que está disponible en los distribuidores autorizados de SAMSUNG. Cuando se termine la vida útil de la batería, póngase en contacto con su proveedor habitual. Para desechar las baterías gastadas, éstas deben tratarse como residuos químicos.

•Limpie el terminal para eliminar sustancias extrañas antes de insertar la batería.

•No ponga la batería cerca de una fuente de calor (fuego o llamas, por ejemplo).

•No desmonte la batería ni la someta a manipulaciones, presiones ni al calor.

•No permita que se produzca un cortocircuito entre los polos + y – de la batería. Podrían producirse pérdidas o recalentamiento, lo cual podría ocasionar un incendio. - No exponga la batería al agua. La batería no es resistente al agua.

•Cuando se descargue completamente, la batería daña las células internas.

La batería puede ser más propensa a fugas cuando se deja totalmente descargada.

•Retire la unidad del cargador o de la alimentación eléctrica cuando no la utilice. Incluso con la unidad apagada, la batería se descargará si se deja conectada a la videocámara con memoria.

•Cuando no se utilice la videocámara con memoria durante un tiempo prolongado:

Se recomienda que una vez al año cargue completamente la batería, la acople a la videocámara con memoria y la utilice. Luego, retire la batería y guárdela de nuevo en un lugar fresco.

Información sobre la duración de la batería

•La capacidad de la batería disminuye con el tiempo y tras el uso reiterado.

Si el tiempo de uso reducido entre cargas es cada vez más signiﬁ cativo, probablemente es hora de sustituirla por una nueva.

•La duración de cada batería depende de las condiciones de almacenamiento, funcionamiento y ambientales.

Utilice únicamente baterías aprobadas.

De lo contrario, existe peligro de sobrecalentamiento, incendio o explosión. Samsung no se hace responsable de problemas que se produzcan debido al uso de baterías no aprobadas.
