About battery packs
•The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), 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 reattach it to the memory camcorder.
•The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77 °F (25 °C). As the environmental temperature and conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.
On handling a battery pack
•To preserve battery power, keep your memory camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
•For power saving purposes, the memory camcorder automatically turns off after 5 minutes in standby mode. (Only if you set "Auto Power Off" from the menu to "On" (5 min).)
•Do not touch or let metallic objects come into contact with the terminals.
•Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack as it may cause damage.
•Be careful to keep the battery pack out of the reach of children. There is danger that a child might swallow it.
•Frequent use of the LCD screen or using the fast forward or rewind buttons wears out the battery pack faster.
