Installing the backup battery

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

This backup battery allows the camcorder to remember the date and time and other settings when 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 up then

releasing and lifting out. Make sure to attach a power source to the camcorder first, so it will remember your chosen settings when you change the battery.
