The clock function starts at [00] seconds.

ªAbout date/time

The date and time function are driven by a built- in lithium battery.

Make sure to check the time before recording because the built-in clock is not very accurate.

ªRecharging the built-in lithium battery

If [0] or [--] is indicated when the camera is turned on, then the built-in lithium battery runs down. Connect the AC adaptor to the camera or place the battery on the camera, and the built-in lithium battery will be recharged. Leave the camera as is for approx. 24 hours, and the battery will drive the date and time for approx. 6 months. (Even if the [OFF/ON] switch is set to [OFF], the battery is still being recharged.)

WARNING

THE LITHIUM BATTERY IN THIS UNIT MUST ONLY BE REPLACED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. IF THIS IS NECESSARY, CONTACT THE PANASONIC CUSTOMER CARE CENTRE ON 132600 FOR YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRE.
