Preparation
Notes regarding the Battery Pack■Please refer to the table on page 16 for approximate continuous recording time.
■The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
■The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.
■The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F (25 °C). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.
■It is recommended you use the original Battery Pack that is available at SAMSUNG retailer. When the Battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
■Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to record.
■A brand new Battery Pack is not charged. Before using the Battery Pack, you need to charge it completely.
■Fully discharging a Lithium Ion Battery damages the internal cells. The Battery Pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
■To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
■If your Camcorder is in <Camera> mode, and it is left in <STBY> mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
■Make sure that the Battery Pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.
