Built-in rechargeable battery

•Your camcorder includes a built-in rechargeable battery that retains the date and time settings even after the power is turned off.

•If the battery is depleted, the current date/time values are reset to the default values. You need to recharge the built-in rechargeable battery (see below), and then re-set the current date and time.

Charging the built-in rechargeable battery

•The built-in battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC power or while the battery is inserted.

•If the camcorder is not in use for about 2 weeks without connecting to the AC power or inserting the battery, the built-in battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the built-in battery by connecting to

the supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.
