However, if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger for over 24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the date/time setting before using the camcorder.

Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the date/time.

Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/ time parameter (month), the clock stops. When you finish setting the minute and press MENU/BRIGHT, the date and time begin operation from the date and time you just set.
