Maintenance and precautions
(continued)
To charge the pre-installed

rechargeable battery

Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date,
time, and other settings even when the
POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG).
The pre-installed 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 pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder
operation will not be affected as long as
you are not recording the date.

Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
using the supplied AC Adaptor or the
