Your camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings even when the power is off. The built-in rechargeable battery is always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall outlet via the AC power adaptor or while the battery pack is attached. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 6 months if you do not use your camcorder at all. If the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged, any input data will not be backed up and the date/time appears on the screen as “01/JAN/2008 00:00” (when “Date/Time” display is set to On).

•You can set the year up to 2038.
