Installing the backup battery
Press the small button with a pen and pull out the battery holder. Insert the battery into the battery holder so that the + side of the battery faces the + sign on the battery holder. Insert the battery holder 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.
