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 . . .
.... 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.
