Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is
a lithium-ion battery. Before
using the supplied battery
pack or an optional battery
pack, be sure to read the
following cautions:
●
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery
to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
●
To prevent damage and prolong service
life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge in an environment where temperatures
are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery — cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures
can prevent complete charging.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack
over a long period time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have
a large power capacity. However, when one
is exposed to cold temperatures (below
10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it
may cease to function. If this happens, place
the battery pack in your pocket or other
warm, protected place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder.
NOTES:
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
Terminals
● The lower the temperature, the longer
● Charging times are for a fully discharged battery
Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be
sure to read the following cautions:
●
... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV
... be aware that recording onto prerecorded
... make sure the cassette is positioned properly
... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly
... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes
