How much power is left?
The battery symbols indicate the charge status of the battery pack. When the battery pack is empty, “CHANGE THE BATTERY
PACK” appears for 4 seconds and 
starts flashing.
The battery charge indicators are not constant – they vary according to the condition under which battery pack and camcorder are used.
When to recharge
E
You can recharge a lithium ion battery pack whenever it is convenient. Unlike a conventional battery pack, it does not have to be fully discharged first. However, as the battery pack will naturally discharge itself over time, it is best to charge it the same day you plan to use it, or the day before.
Taking care of the battery pack
Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals, as this can cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.
Keep the terminals clean.
•The camcorder, adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminals are dirty. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.
Storing the battery pack.
•Storing a charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance. We recommend to discharge the battery pack in the camcorder fully and to store it in a dry place. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camcorder at least once a year before returning it to storage.
