Using an AC power source

About battery packs

•The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 0°C (32 °F)), its usage time reduces 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 reinsert it.

•Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. ﬁre or a heater).

•Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

•Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, generate heat, or cause ﬁre.

Maintaining the battery pack

•The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

•We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

•Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

•To preserve battery power, keep your HD camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

•Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left inserted on the HD camcorder. If you do not use the HD camcorder for an extended time period, keep it with the battery completely depleted.

•For power saving purposes, the HD camcorder will automatically turn off after 5 minutes. (Only if you set “Auto Power Off” from the menu to “5 Min.”)

•When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged. Charge the battery pack at least once per 6 months to prevent complete discharge of the battery pack.

About the battery life

Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes signiﬁcant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the HD camcorder from a household AC outlet when you perform settings on it, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. page 15

• Before detaching the power source, make sure that the HD camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can

CAUTION

result in camcorder malfunction.

•Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your HD camcorder.

•Do not use the AC power adaptor in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.
