On charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery

Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable battery to retain the date, time, and other settings
even when the LCD screen is closed. The pre-installed rechargeable battery is always charged while
your camcorder is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket) via the AC Adaptor or while the battery pack
is attached. The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 3 months if you do not use your
camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after charging the pre -installed rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation will not
be affected as long as you are not recording the date.

How to charge the pre-installed rechargeable battery

Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet (wall socket) using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave it with
the LCD screen closed for more than 24 hours.
