Tips for Skillful Use of Battery

Be sure to use the specified battery (DZ-BP16 or DZ-BP28):

Using other batteries could cause faulty DVD camcorder operation, or possibly a fire.

Charge the battery immediately before using the DVD camcorder:

If a charged battery is stored, it will discharge on its own; therefore, it is recom- mended that you charge the battery shortly before using the DVD camcorder, such as on the day before you plan to use it. You do not need to completely discharge the battery before charging it.
