... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery— cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.
NOTES:
●It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

●Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).
●The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:
1.During use . . .
... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark.
... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.
