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.
