Regarding the Battery
■Battery pack performance decreases when the surrounding temperature is 10°C (50°F) or below, and shortens the battery life. In that case, do one of the following so that the durability of the battery life can be extended for a longer period of time.
-Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and insert it in your Sports Camcorder immediately prior to use.
-Use a large capacity battery pack.
■Be sure to set the power button to off when not recording or playing back. The battery power is also consumed in standby, playback and pause mode.
■Have your battery packs ready for two or three times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings before making the actual recording.
■Do not expose the battery packs to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.
■Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
■Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
■Do not pick up the battery using metal tools as this may cause a short circuit.
■Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.
■Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause an explosion or leakage, resulting in fire, injury or damage to the surroundings.
■Install the battery according to the instructions. Improperly installed batteries can cause damage to the sports camcorder.
■When you do not use for a long time, remove the battery pack.
Otherwise, the battery may leak. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
