About battery packs
•The benefits of battery pack: Battery pack is small but has a large power capacity. It should be recharged in any 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.
•To save battery power, you can set the "Auto Power Off" function which turns off the memory camcorder if there is no operation for 5 minutes. To disable this option, change the setting of "Auto Power Off" to "Off" ➥page 82
•Do not touch, or metallic objects to come into contact with the terminals.
•Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage itself.
•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.
•Remove the battery pack from the camcorder for safekeeping after using your memory camcorder.
•Leaving the battery pack for extended period of time may discharge the battery pack completely.
-A battery pack which is completely discharged may not turn on the recharging LED during the charging.
As it is designed to protect the battery pack, if the recharging LED turn on normally within 5 minutes, use the battery pack without a worry.
