About the battery

The battery should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). Exposure to temperatures below 32°F (0°C) reduces the battery’s usage time and may cause it to stop working. If this happens, place the battery in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-insert it.

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

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

Do not allow battery terminals to be short-circuited. This may cause leakage, generate heat, or cause a fire.

Maintaining the battery

The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

We recommend using only the battery type that came with your camcorder. This battery type is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries must be dealt with as chemical waste.

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

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

Even when the power is switched off, the battery will still discharge if it is left in the camcorder. We recommend that you remove the battery from the camcorder when not using 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 2 months to keep the battery functioning

18properly. To store the battery, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.
