Inserting and Replacing the Lithium Battery

This camcorder uses a lithium battery to retain stored data. When using the camcorder for the first time, be sure to insert the supplied lithium battery (CR2032). The camcorder will not operate correctly without this lithium battery.

Lifetime of the lithium battery

When the lithium battery’s voltage falls, the lithium

backup battery warning appears in the display window. If this warning appears, replace the lithium battery (CR2032) within three or four days.

The lithium battery has an average service life of about two years, however operation in ClipLink mode will shorten the lifetime until about one year (when the DSBK-301A is fitted).
