Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C), the optimal range is from 50 °F to 86 °F (10 °C to 30 °C). At cold temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.
Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal temperatures.

Cassette
Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture and sound distortion.
Return cassettes in the case and store them upright.
Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use.
Do not use spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the camcorder.
Do not use tapes that have been jammed as video heads may become dirty.
Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with cellophane tape.
Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may damage the cassettes.
Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time.
With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become dirty with use. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of loading/ unloading. The memory function is not supported by the camcorder.
Protecting Tapes from Accidental Erasure
To protect your recordings from accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to SAVE or ERASE OFF.
If you wish to record on that cassette, change the position of the tab.
