When the battery needs charging, it is impossible to start recording or editing.
●When the battery is completely dis- charged, the whole battery indicator will flash. Recharge the battery or replace the alkaline batteries with new ones.
●When the battery has completely run out, “BATT EMPTY” (main unit) and “Lo BATT” (remote control unit) will appear. The power will be disconnected auto- matically.
Notes:
●When the AC adaptor included with this unit or an optionally available car adap- tor is used, the battery indicator will not be shown.
●The number of bars shown in the bat- tery indicator may increase or decrease, depending on the operation being performed. This is normal.
●When the rechargeable battery and the alkaline batteries are used at the same time, the rechargeable battery is used first, and then the alkaline batteries.
Since the battery indicator shows the remaining amount of the particular bat- tery being used, the number of bars will increase when the unit switches to the alkaline batteries.
●To cancel the hold mode, move the HOLD switch away from the safety position (the opposite direction of the arrow).
