Installing the Backup Battery

Open the backup battery cover and insert the CR2025 lithium battery with the + side facing outwards. Click the cover back into place.

This backup battery allows the camcorder to retain the date and time and other settings when the main power source is removed. It has a life span of about a year.

When it needs replacing (or if it has not been installed), the y mark flashes in the display. Remove the old battery by pushing it up, releasing and lifting it out. Make sure to attach a power source to the camcorder first, so it will retain your chosen settings when you change the battery.

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

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

Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures greater than 140°F (60°C). Do not leave it near a heater, or inside a car in hot weather, for example.

Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

Do not drop or knock it.

Do not get it wet.

WARNING!

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C) or incinerate.

Replace the battery with a CR2025 made by Panasonic, Hitachi Maxell, Sony, Sanyo, or with Duracell DL2025. Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Cautions:

Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools — this will cause a short circuit.

Wipe the battery with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper contact.

Keep the battery pack out of reach of children — if it is swallowed, contact a physician immediately, as the battery case may break down and the battery fluids damage the stomach and intestines.

Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water, to avoid the risk of explosion.
