•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 dealt with as chemical waste.

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

•To preserve battery power, keep your HD camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

•Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left inserted on the HD camcorder. If the HD camcorder will not be in use for a while, remove the battery pack from the HD camcorder.

•For power saving purposes, the HD camcorder will automatically turn off after 5 minutes in standby mode. (Only if you set “Auto Power Off” from the menu to on (“ 5 min ”).)

•When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged. Charge the battery pack at least once every 6 months to prevent complete discharge of the battery pack.
