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 or knock it.

•Do not get it wet.

O Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the

day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

O Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic

objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.

O Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder.

Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.

O Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its

lifecyde

or

affect

performance,

we recommend

to

discharge

the battery pack fully

and

to store

it in a dry

place

at temperatures

no higher

than

30 °C

(86 °F).

If you

do

not

use

the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If

you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for all

battery

packs.

O Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at

normal

temperatures.

O Although the battery pack's operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F

to 104 °F), the optimal

range

is from

10

°C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). At cold

temperatures,

performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.

About

the

battery

terminal

cover

The battery

terminal

cover

has a [_]-shaped

hole.

This

is useful when

you

wish

to

differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged

battery

packs,

attach

the

terminal

cover

so

that

the

[E_]-shaped

hole shows

the

blue

label.
