Notes:

Charge the battery pack between 50°F and 86°F (10°C and 30°C). The battery pack may not charge properly at temperatures too low or too high.

The battery pack and charger become warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.

Using the zoom (see page 17) and other functions or turning the power on and off frequently will increase power consumption. This may result in a decrease in the actual recording time compared to the maximum continuous recording time listed above.

The charging time and recording time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the condition of the battery pack.

See page 53 for more information on using the battery pack.

Caution:

Charge only SHARP model BT-L225 or BT-L445 battery packs. Other types of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.

Extending battery pack life

Even when the battery pack is not used, the capacity of the battery pack will naturally deteriorate over time. To limit the deterioration of the capacity, it is recommended to perform the following procedure at least once every six months:

1Fully charge the battery pack.

2Attach the battery pack to the camcorder, and set the Power switch to CAMERA without inserting a cassette. Allow the battery power to fully discharge by leaving it on the camcorder until the camcorder power automatically turns off.

3Remove the battery pack and store it between 50°F and 68°F (10°C and 20°C).
