Battery packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

To avoid hazards

-Do not burn.

-Do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

-Do not modify or disassemble.

-Do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

To prevent damage and prolong service life

-Do not subject to unnecessary shock.

-Charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown below.

This is a chemical reaction - cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

-Store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

-Fully charge the battery pack at least every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period of time.

-Remove from your camcorder when not in use, as these components may use current even when switched off.

It is recommended that only genuine Samsung batteries be used in this camcorder.

Using generic non-Samsungbatteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature range specifications

-Charging: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)

-Operation: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

-Storage: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
