Charging the built-in
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder is supplied with a built-in
rechargeable battery installed so as to retain the
date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the
POWER switch. The built-in rechargeable battery
is always charged as long as you are using your
camcorder. The battery, however, will get
discharged gradually if you do not use your
camcorder. It will be completely discharged in
about 3 months if you do not use your camcorder
at all. Even if the built-in rechargeable battery is
not charged, it will not affect the camcorder
operation. To retain the date and time, etc.,
charge the battery if the battery is discharged.
