About battery packs

•The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 0°C (32°F)), 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 re-insert it to the DVD camcorder.

•Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).

•Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

•Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or fire.

Maintaining the battery pack

•The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

•The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the user manual 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.

•We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be treated as chemical waste.

•Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

•When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.

•Remove the battery from the camcorder when it is not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the DVD camcorder.

•For power saving purpose, the DVD camcorder enters the sleep mode automatically if no operation is for 3 minutes in the STBY mode and thumbnail index view. If no operation goes on 3 minutes more, it turns off automatically. If any operation occurs in the sleep mode, the DVD camcorder comes out of the sleep mode. This function works only if “Auto Power Off” is set to “6 Min.”page 80

•Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack as it may cause damage.

About the battery life

Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.

If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
