| (10Cº)) may shorten its usage time and affect its function. Before recording in low temperatures, put |
|
| ||
| the battery into your pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder. |
|
| ||
• | Make sure to store the battery separately after use. |
|
| ||
| - A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored in the camcorder even |
|
| ||
| if the camcorder power is off. |
|
| ||
| - The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been installed and left in the camcorder for a |
|
| ||
| long period of time. If this occurs, the battery may not fully operate even if you charge it. |
|
| ||
| - If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then, using your camcorder, |
|
| ||
| drain the charge completely once every 3 months to keep the battery functioning properly. To |
|
| ||
| store the battery, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place. |
|
| ||
• | Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors in cold temperatures. |
|
| ||
| - The cold temperature may shorten the length of time you can use the battery before needing to |
|
| ||
| recharge it. |
|
| ||
• | - Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling. |
|
| ||
Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery falls or is dropped. |
|
| |||
| - If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you can damage the |
|
| ||
| camcorder. |

• | Remove the battery and the memory card from the camcorder and disconnect the AC power |
|
| ||
| adaptor after use. |

|
| ||
| (Recommended temperature : 59ºF ~ 77ºF (15Cº~ 25Cº), recommended humidity: 40%~ 60%) |
|
| ||
| - Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime. |
|
| ||
| - The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is stored in a smoky or dusty |
|
| ||
| location. |
|
| ||
• | Recyle or dispose of your dead batteries properly. |
|
| ||
• | The battery lifetime is limited. |
|
| ||
| - Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time |
|
| ||
| between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one. |
|
| ||
| - Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental conditions. |
