Canon 30, 40 15

❍We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50 ˚F and 86 ˚F (10 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Outside the temperature range of 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C to 40 ˚C), the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.

❍A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.

❍We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.

❍To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
