•Battery operating time may differ depending on the age of the battery pack, charging conditions and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the above for approximate reference times.
•Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environ- ment.
•Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens and LCD are used frequently.

MEMO
•Do not connect or disconnect the DC cable while operat- ing with a battery pack.
The following symptoms may occur if the DC cable is connected or disconnected while operating with a battery pack.
•The power is cut off for a moment when the DC cable is disconnected.
•Noise to the video and audio signals occurs. Audio sig- nal are muted.
•When operation is continued with DC input after the bat- tery pack capacity has been used up, set the POWER switch to OFF after the DC power is applied. Then switch ON again.

•When charged at temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F).
•When charging battery packs after a long storage period, charging time will be longer than indicated above.
•When two battery packs are attached, they will be recharged in the order that they are attached.
•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 imme- diately 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 dis- charge 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 per- formed completely.
•Perform charging in an environment where the tempera- ture is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F). 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F) is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too cold, charging may not complete.
