About the battery pack

•The benefits of the battery pack: the Battery pack is small but has a large power capacity. It should be recharged at temperatures between 50°F ~ 86°F (10°C ~ 30°C).

However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), its usage time is reduced and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or any other warm, protected place for a short time, then reattach it to the camcorder.

•The continuous recording times in the operating instructions 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.

Handling the battery pack

•To preserve battery power, keep your 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 camcorder if there is no operation for 5 minutes. To disable this option, change the setting of "Auto Power Off" to "Off." ➥page 91

•Do not allow 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 cause damage.

•Be careful to keep the battery pack out of the reach of children. It is a choking hazard if swallowed.

•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 camcorder.

•Leaving the battery pack for an 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 charging.

It is designed to protect the battery pack. If the recharging LED turns on normally within 5 minutes, use the battery pack as normal.
