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

When turn on the power for the first time after charging, [SET DATE AND TIME] will appear. Select [YES] and set the date and time.
