Battery Care and Storage
Do not store a battery pack where it can reach high temperatures.
Remove the battery from the camcorder when it is not in use to prolong the battery life.
Recharge the battery just before it is used. If the battery is recharged and not
used, it will slowly lose its charge.
Make sure to exhaust the charge of the battery pack completely when
recording. If the battery pack is recharged when the previous charge is not completely exhausted, the charge time gradually decreases.
Charge the battery within a temperature range of 10ºC to 30ºC (50ºF to 86ºF) to prevent damage.
After repeated chargings and use, the operation time decreases gradually .
When the operation time becomes too short to be useful, it is time to replace the battery.
The battery pack charging/operating time in the table are approximate.

The operating time is restored to its original level after the battery has been used two or three times (completely discharged and recharged) or after it has been recharged using the REFRESH function.
•If it is used in low temperatures.
•If it is discharged completely and stored for a long period (more than 3 months).
•If it is stored at temperatures above 40ºC (104ºF).

•If loading and unloading the cassette is used excessively.
