< How to read the battery indicator >
When the battery is
completely charged
When the battery needs charging, it is
impossible to start recording or editing.
When the battery is completely dischar-
ged, the whole battery indicator will
flash. Recharge the battery or replace
the alkaline batteries with new ones.
When the battery has run completely
out, "BATT EMPTY" (main unit) and "Lo
BATT" (remote control unit) will appear.
Then, the power will be disconnected
automatically.
Notes:
When the AC adaptor included with this
unit or a separately available car adaptor
is used, the battery indicator will not be
shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery
indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being perfor-
med. This is normal.
When the rechargeable battery and the
alkaline batteries are used at the same
time, the rechargeable battery is used first,
and then the alkaline batteries.
Since the battery indicator shows the re-
maining amount of the particular battery
being used, the number of bars will increa-
se when the unit switches to the alkaline
batteries.
