General Battery Precautions

When the RM-V20U (remote control), C-P6U or C-P7U (cassette adapter) are not functioning even when correctly operated, the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.

Use only the following batteries:

RM-V20U

AAA (R03) size

C-P6U or C-P7U

AA (R6) size

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.

1.Refer to the RM-V20U and C-P6U/C-P7U instructions when replacing batteries.

2.Do not use old and new batteries together.

3.Do not use two different kinds of batteries. Although sizes may be the same, voltages may differ.

4.Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they can leak or explode.

5.Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

6.Remove batteries from the unit if it is to be stored for an extended period to avoid battery leakage which can cause malfunctions.

Battery Packs

 

The supplied battery pack is a

 

nickel-cadmium battery. Before using

 

the supplied battery pack or an

 

optional battery pack, be sure to read

 

the following cautions:

 

1. To avoid hazard . . .

Terminals

.... do not burn.

 

.... do not short-circuit the terminals.

 

.... do not modify or disassemble.

 

.... use only specified chargers.

 

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.

.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .

.... replace the battery pack when it begins to

deliver less recording time per charge.

NOTE:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging

10°C to 35°C

Operation

0°C to 40°C

Storage

NOTES:

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
