About the battery

Battery Properties

A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. The low ambient temperature (below 10Cº) may shorten its life-span and affect its function properly. In this case, put the battery into the pocket to make it warm then install it in the camcorder.

Make sure to store the battery separately after use.

-A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.

-If the battery is installed and left in the camcorder for a long time, the battery is discharged. The battery can not be used even if charged.

Using an AC power source

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when you set function settings, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. Make the same connections as you do when charging the battery. ￿page 21

Make sure to turn off the camcorder before disconnecting the AC power adaptor. Unless, the storage media or data may be damaged.

Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

Do not use the AC power adaptor in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• Be sure to use the specified AC power adaptor to power the camcorder. Using other AC power adaptors could cause electric shock or result in fire.
