ªAbout the battery

The battery used in the movie camera is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function may work, disabling use of the movie camera.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

≥If the battery is left attached to the movie camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the movie camera power is OFF. If the battery is left attached to the movie camera for a long time, over-discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged.

≥The battery should be stored in a cool place free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)

≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

≥If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the

terminals may rust and cause malfunctions. ≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we

recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period during you want to record pictures in. In cold places such as a ski resort, the period during which you can record pictures is shortened.

≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are deformed. ≥Attaching a deformed battery to the movie

camera or the AC adaptor may damage the movie camera or the AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

ªAbout the AC adaptor

≥If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal.

≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing, and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or the AC adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.

≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.

≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left

connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and the battery clean.
