To obtain more accurate remaining battery indication

Turn on the camcorder and point towards a stationary object. Do not move the camcorder for 30 seconds or more.

Caution

Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.

The battery pack heats up

During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been generated and a chemical change that has occurred inside the battery pack. This is normal and is not cause for concern.

Be sure to observe the following

•Keep the battery pack away from fire. •Keep the battery pack dry.

•Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack. •Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.

The life of the battery pack

If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one.

Charging temperature

You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50°F to 86°F (from 10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
