long storage period, the POWER/CHARGE lamp may not
light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the
camcorder, then try charging again.
●If the battery operation time remains extremely short even
after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause
a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs
are small but have a large
power capacity. However,
when one is exposed to
cold temperatures (below
10°C/50°F), its usage time
becomes shorter and it
may cease to function. If
this happens, place the
battery pack i n your pocket
or other warm, protected
place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack
itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack
does not come in direct contact with it.)
