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 becomes reduced 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
•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
Maintaining the battery pack
•The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
•The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the user manual are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 25°C (77°F). As the environmental temperature and
conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.
•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 treated as chemical waste.
•Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
•When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
