PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
Turning the Power OFF
●When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a cool, dry place.
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car, etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service life.
●When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened.
●If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.
Recharging
●Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity.
●If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity.
●If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely.

Confirm that the STBY or STOP indication is shown in the VTR operation mode indication area before the power is turned off. Should the POWER switch accidentally be set to OFF during a recording, wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power on again.
●Always set the POWER switch to OFF before disconnecting the power supply
Do not turn the battery pack or AC power supply OFF while the POWER switch on the camera is still set to ON.
