It is recommended you operate your camcorder about once a month to keep it in an optimum state for a long time.

To charge the built-in rechargeable button-type battery

Your camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings even when the POWER switch is set to (CHG)OFF. The built-in rechargeable battery is always charged while you are using your camcorder but it will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camcorder. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 3 months if you do not use your camcorder at all. However, even if the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation will not be affected if you are not recording the date.

Procedures

Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave it with the POWER switch set to (CHG)OFF for more than 24 hours.
