About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery packWhat is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack?

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for communicating information related to operating conditions between the battery pack and an AC adaptor/charger (optional).

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the power consumption according to the operating conditions of your camcorder, and displays the remaining battery time in minutes.

With an AC adaptor/charger (optional), the remaining battery time and charging time are displayed.

Charging the battery pack

•Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camcorder.

•We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between

10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until FULL appears in the display window, indicating that the battery pack is fully charged. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack.

•After charging is completed, either disconnect the cable from the DC IN jack on your camcorder or remove the battery pack.

Effective use of the battery pack

•Battery pack performance decreases in low-temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used becomes shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:

–Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camcorder immediately before you start taking shots.

–Use the large capacity battery pack (NP-FM70/QM71/FM90/FM91/QM91, optional).

•Frequently using the LCD panel or frequently operating playback, fast forward or rewind wears out the battery pack faster. We recommend using the large capacity battery pack (NP-FM70/QM71/FM90/FM91/QM91, optional).

•Be sure to turn the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) when not taking shots or playing back on your camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed when your camcorder is in the standby mode or playback is paused.

•Have spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected recording time, and make a trial recording before the actual recording.

•Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
