≥Hold the battery with your hand so it does not fall.

≥Do not bring metal objects (such as necklaces or hairpins) into contact with the battery terminals. The terminals may short circuit and generate heat, and touching them in this condition may cause severe burns.

≥The battery heats up during operation and during charging, as does the camera recorder body.

≥If recording and stop operations are repeated more than

is necessary, the recording time will be less than the values given in the above table.

≥Store the battery only when it is fully discharged. It is recommended that the battery be charged once a year when it is being stored long-term and that it be placed back in storage after it has been fully discharged using the camera recorder.

≥When the temperature of the battery unit has risen to an extremely high level or dropped to an extremely low level or when the battery is not used for prolonged periods of time has become fully discharged, the “CHARGE” lamp flashes several times, and charging commences automatically.

≥If the “CHARGE” lamp continues to flash even though the battery temperature is normal, consult your dealer as a problem may have developed within the battery or AC adapter.

≥When the battery is warm, it takes longer than usual for the battery to be charged.

≥When the AC adapter is used near a radio, the radio sound may be distorted. Use the adapter at a distance of at least one meter from the radio.

≥Noise may be heard while the AC adapter is in use; however, this is normal and not indicative of any malfunctioning.

≥The battery cannot be charged while supplying power from the AC adapter to the camera recorder.

Charging time and recordable time

The times shown in the table below show the times at a temperature of 77 oF (25 oC) and a humidity of 60%. This is just a guide. If the temperature is higher or lower than the specified value, the charging time will become longer.

Supplied battery	A	2 h
(7.2 V/1600 mAh)	B	3 h 45 min (3 h 30 min)
	C	1 h 55 min (1 h 45 min)
CGP-D28S	A	3 h 15 min
(7.2 V/2800 mAh)	B	6 h 30 min (6 h)
	C	3 h 15 min (3 h)

ACharging time

BMaximum continuously recordable time C Intermittent recordable time

(The intermittent recordable time refers to recordable time when the recording and stopping operations are repeated.) “1h 30 min” indicates 1 hour 30 minutes.

≥The times shown in the table are rough estimates. The times indicate the recordable times when the viewfinder is used. The times in parentheses indicate the recordable times when the LCD monitor is used.

≥The recordable time will become shorter in the following cases:

≥When you use both the viewfinder and the LCD monitor simultaneously while rotating the LCD monitor frontward to record yourself, using the 0 lux night view function, etc.

≥When you use this camera with the LCD monitor lit up by pressing the [POWER LCD] button.

≥The batteries heat up after use or charging. The main unit of the camera-recorder being used will also heat up. This is normal.

≥Along with the reduction of the battery capacity, the display

will change: # # # #
