Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium Battery

To store the date/time in memory, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC Adapter, or while the battery pack attached to the camcorder continues to supply power, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is always charged. However, if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Adapter for over 24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the date/ time setting before using the camcorder.

Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the date/time.

NOTE:

Even if you select “CLOCK ADJ.”, if the parameter is not highlighted, the camcorder’s internal clock continues to operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/time parameter (month), the clock stops. When you finish setting the minute and press the MENU Wheel in, the date and time begin operation from the date and time you have just set.
