Precautions for the Battery Opera- tion
• | Do not detach the battery pack while recording is taking |
| place. |
• | 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 con- |
| nected 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. |
• If this device is left with the battery pack attached, a small | |
| amount of power is consumed even if the POWER switch |
| on this device is set to OFF. |
Operating Time with Battery Pack
When a fully charged battery pack is attached, the approxi- mate continuous operating time is as follows
Battery Pack | Continuous Operating Time (at 25°C (77°F)) |
Dionic 90 | Approx. 3.2 hours |
(U model) |
|
Approx. 2.5 hours | |
(E model) |
|
•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.
Turning the Power ON
1.Set the POWER switch to ON.
This device turns on in Camera mode.
The operation differs according to whether this device is in the Camera mode or in the VTR mode.
The mode switches each time you press the CAM/VTR button. When the mode is switched, the VTR indicator displays the following statuses.

CAUTION
•Do not set the POWER switch to OFF while recording is taking place.
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 discon- necting the power supply.
Do not remove the battery pack or turn AC adapter OFF while the POWER switch on the camera is still set to ON.

• 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- |

MEMO
•After the remaining battery power warnings appear, this device automatically stops operation if the battery power operation is continued.
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 tempera- ture raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed 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.

VTR mode
This device enters the VTR mode. The camera image will not be displayed in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor. When a videocassette is loaded, this device enters the stop mode.
“STOP” is displayed in the VTR operation mode indication area of the LCD monitor and/or in the viewfinder. HDV/DV input is possible through the IEEE1394 connector.
