Handling the dead battery

Do not dispose of the dead battery: Let a rechargeable battery recycling coop- erative store take charge of it.

Using charge marker

For a charged battery, slide the charge marker knob at rear so that the charge marker () is visible: Uncharged bat- teries can thus be easily identified.

Note: Be sure to use the specified battery (DZ- BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately) or DZ-BP28 (sold separately)). Using other batteries could cause faulty DVD video camera/recorder operation, or possibly a fir e.

Note: If a charged battery is stored, it will discharge on its own; therefore, it is recommended that you charge the battery shortly before using the DVD video camera/recorder, such as on the day before you plan to use it. You do not need to completely discharge the battery before charging it.

Note: When you are not using the DVD video cam- era/recorder, remove the battery and store it in a dark, cool place. If you store it in a place where the temperature is high, the battery life will be short- ened. Especially be sure not to store the battery in an environment (in a closed vehicle) over 140 °F (60 °C): Neglecting this could damage the battery.

Charge marker

Note: It is r ecommended that you fully charge the battery once a year, attach it to the DVD video camera/recorder and use it up; then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again.

Note: The battery can be repeatedly charged

and used, but will eventually be dead: The bat- tery life varies gr eatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the DVD video cam- era/recorder is used. If the usable time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fully charged bat- tery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead: Purchase a new battery.
