About battery packs

•The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), its usage time reduces and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-insert it.

•Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. ﬁre or a heater).

•Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

•Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, generate heat, or cause ﬁre.

Maintaining the battery pack

•The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

•We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

•Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

•To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

•Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left inserted on the camcorder. It is recommended that you remove the battery pack from the camcorder.

•If the battery pack is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery pack and use it up on your camcorder once per 6 months to maintain proper function. To store the battery pack, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool place.

About the battery life

•Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes signiﬁcant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

• Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
