About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or

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), its usage time becomes
shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens,
place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm,
protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the
camcorder.
