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 as below.

This is a chemical reaction-type battery - 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.

-Remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use electric current even when switched off.

It is recommended that only genuine Samsung batteries are used in this camcorder. Using generic non-Samsung batteries 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
