CHARGING THE BATTERY
battery tends to discharge if not used for an extended period of time. If the battery is stored for a extended length of time without being recharged, you may not be able to recharge it.
•A battery charged after being stored for a long period may not supply power for the specified time. Additional rechargings will help restore the battery's operation time.
•The battery should be charged at a temperature of 50ºF - 86ºF (10ºC - 30ºC) to prevent damage.
•Do not operate the battery at temperatures below 14ºF
•After repeated chargings and use, the operation time will gradually decrease. When operation time becomes too short to be useful, it is time to replace the battery.
•If the "CHARGE" light on the AC adaptor/charger starts flashing, remove the battery and then reattach it. If after several attempts the light continues to flash, this means your battery cannot take a charge and must be replaced with a new one.
The "CHARGE" light will not light if a hot battery is attached to the AC adaptor/charger. Attaching an extremely hot battery to the AC adaptor/ charger is not recommended; it should be allowed to cool down before being attached.
•Do not short the battery's terminal.
•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
•Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing the battery to excessive heat - over 149ºF (65ºC) could be hazardous.
•Be sure to set "CAM/OFF/VIDEO" to the position before removing the battery.
