What is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates power consumption according to the operating conditions of your videocassette recorder, and displays the remaining battery time in minutes. When it is recharged with an AC adaptor/charger (optional) the remaining battery time and charging time appear.
To charge the battery pack
•Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your videocassette recorder.
•We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 ˚C and 30 ˚C
(50 ˚F and 86 ˚F) until the CHG (charge) indicator turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, it may not charge properly.
•After charging is completed, either disconnect the AC adaptor from the DC IN jack on your videocassette recorder, or remove the battery pack.
To use the battery pack efficiently
•Battery pack performance will be reduced when the ambient temperature is below 10 ˚C (50 ˚F), so the length of time you can use the battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, put the battery pack in a pocket or a similar place to keep it warm and insert it in your videocassette recorder right before you start using it so that you can use it for a longer time.
•Frequent use of the LCD screen or frequent playback, fast forward or rewind discharges the battery pack faster. We recommend using a large capacity battery pack:
•Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.
About the remaining battery time indicator
•If the power turns off even when the remaining battery time indicator is showing that the battery pack has enough power to operate, fully charge the battery pack once more. The remaining battery time should be indicated correctly. Note, however, that the indicator display may not be restored if the battery is used in high temperatures for a long time, left in a fully charge state, or is used frequently.
The remaining battery time indicator is a guide to the approximate recording time.
•In some operating conditions or ambient temperature and environment the E mark for low battery will start flashing even if there are still 5 to 10 minutes of battery time remaining.
About storage of the battery pack
•If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a long time, fully charge the pack about once a year and use it with your videocassette recorder until it is completely discharged in order to maintain the battery in peak condition.
To store the battery pack, remove it from your videocassette recorder and keep it in a cool, dry place.
•To completely discharge the battery pack on your videocassette recorder, leave the power on without inserting a cassette until the power drains off.
About battery life
•The battery life is limited. The battery capacity drops in degrees as you continue to use it and as time passes. When the charged battery time becomes considerably shorter, most likely the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Please buy a new battery pack.
•The battery life varies depending on how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each battery pack.
