Notes:

•Use the remaining battery power indicator only as an approximate indication.

•The remaining battery power indicator may change to either a higher or lower level if you set the Power switch to OFF and then back to CAMERA or VCR.

•In cold environments, the red remaining battery power indicator may appear sooner. The battery pack, however, can be used until the warning indicator appears.

•Use of the zoom functions when the warning indicator is displayed may cause the camcorder to suddenly lose power.
