Connections & Setup

Battery Level Icon

The battery level icon appears in the viewfinder or LCD monitor and reveals the amount of power left in the rechargeable battery.

Note: The battery level icon is not recorded on the tape.

This icon appears when battery is fully charged.

The icon changes to show that you’ve used some of the battery’s power.

As you use more of the battery’s power, the icon changes again.

This battery icon flashes in the viewfinder or LCD monitor when the battery power is almost gone. The camcorder turns off automatically after a few seconds.

Battery Care and Storage

•After repeated charging and use, battery life gradually decreases. When operation time is too short to be useful, the battery should be replaced.

•If the battery pack becomes too hot, remove it from the camcorder and let it cool down.

•Do not short the battery’s terminals.

•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

•Use the battery only with specified adapter/chargers and camcorders.

•Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing it to excessive heat – over 149˚F (65˚C) could be hazardous.
