Additional Information

Tips for using the battery pack

The power consumption of the camcorder changes depending on its use, such as how

the autofocusing is working.

While checking the condition of the camcorder, the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack

measures the battery consumption and calculates the remaining battery power. If the

condition changed drastically, the remaining battery indication may suddenly decrease

or increase by more than 2 minutes.

Even if 5 to 10 minutes is indicated as the battery remaining time in the viewfinder, the

i indicator may also flash under some condition.

Set the camcorder to recording standby mode and point towards a stationary object. Do

not move the camcorder for 30 seconds or more.

•If the indication seems incorrect, use up the battery pack and then recharge it fully

(Full charge1)). Note that if you have used the battery in a hot or cold environment for

long time, or you have repeated charging many times, the battery pack may not be

able to show the correct time even after being fully charged.

•After you have used the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with an equipment not having

the mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment

having the mark and then recharge fully.

The recording time is affected by the environmental temperature and conditions. The

recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording

time in the operation manual is measured under the condition of using a fully charged

(or normal charged2)) battery pack in 77°F (25°C). As the environmental temperature

and condition are different when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery

time is not same as the continuous recording time in the operation manual.

1) Full charge: Charging for about 1 hour after the CHARGE lamp of the AC power

adaptor goes off.

2) Normal charge: Charging just until the CHARGE lamp of the AC power adaptor goes

off.

Notes on charging

A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it

completely.

You do not have to discharge it before recharging. If you charged the battery pack fully

but you did not use it for a long time, it becomes discharged. Then recharge the battery

pack before use.

Notes on the terminals

If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery charge

duration will be shortened.

When the terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long

time, repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a few times. This improves the

contact condition. Also, wipe the + and – terminals with a soft cloth or paper.
