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. Charge the pre -installed rechargeable battery before you start using your camcorder.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery is not charged, the camcorder operation other
than date recording will not be affected.

How to charge the pre-installed rechargeable battery

Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet (wall socket) using the AC Adaptor (models with an AC Adaptor)
or attach the fully charged battery pack, and leave it with the LCD screen closed for more than 24 hours.
