maintenance & additional information

Battery packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

To avoid hazards

-Do not burn.

-Do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

-Do not modify or disassemble.

-Do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

-Do not subject to unnecessary shock.

-Charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown below.

This is a chemical reaction type battery - cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

-Store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

-Fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long time period.

-Remove from your camcorder when not in use, as these components may use current even when switched off.

• We recommended only using genuine Samsung batteries in this camcorder. Using generic non-Samsung batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature range specifications

Charging: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) / Operation: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) / Storage: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Refer to pages 17-18 for details.

On charging the built-in rechargeable battery

Your camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings even when the power switch is set to off. The built-in rechargeable battery is always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall outlet via the AC power adaptor or while the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 6 months if you do not use your camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after charging the built-in rechargeable battery.

However, even if the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation will not be affected as long as you are not recording the date.
