Maintaining the battery pack

•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.

•Clean the terminals to remove any foreign substances before inserting the battery.

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

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

•Do not allow the '+' and '-' terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or fire.

•Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.

•When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.

•Remove the battery pack from the charger or camcorder when not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the camcorder.

•When not using the camcorder for an extended period:

It is recommended that you charge the battery pack once every 6 months, attach it to the camcorder and use it up: then remove the battery pack and store it in a 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 governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

Use only Samsung-approved battery packs.

Do not use batteries from other manufacturers because there is a danger of overheating, fire or explosion. Samsung is not responsible for problems occurring due to using unapproved batteries.
