Additional Information

Long-term storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30 °C (86 °F).

Battery Pack

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

•Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

•Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C

(140 °F). Do not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.

•Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

•Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.

•Do not get it wet.

•Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.

Long-term storage

•Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30 °C (86 °F).

•To extend the battery life of the battery pack, discharge it completely before storing it.

•Charge and discharge all your battery packs fully at least once a year.

Remaining battery time

If the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the battery pack fully. However, the correct time may not be displayed if a fully charged battery pack is used continuously in high temperatures or it is left unused for long periods of time. Additionally, depending on the battery life, the correct time may not be displayed. Use the time shown on the screen as an approximation.

Regarding the use of non-Canon battery packs

•For your safety, battery packs that are not genuine Canon battery packs will not be charged even if you attach them to this camcorder or to the optional CG-800 Battery Charger.

•We recommend using genuine Canon battery packs bearing the

mark.

•If you attach to the camcorder battery packs that are not genuine Canon

battery packs, will appear and the remaining battery time will not be displayed.

Memory Card

•We recommend backing up the recordings on the memory card onto your computer. Data may be corrupted or lost due to memory card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost or corrupted data.

•Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
