About the "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack
Remaining battery time indicator
•If the power goes off although the battery
remaining indicator indicates that the battery
pack has enough power to operate, charge the
battery pack fully again so that the indication
on the battery remaining indicator is correct.
Note, however, that the correct battery
indication sometimes will not be restored if it is
used in high temperatures for a long time or left
in a fully charged state, or the battery is
frequently used. Regard the remaining battery
time indication as approximate.
•The E mark, indicating there is little remaining
battery time, sometimes flashes depending on
the operating conditions or ambient
temperature and environment even if the
remaining battery time is 5 to 10 minutes.
How to store the battery pack
•If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
do the following procedure once a year to
maintain proper function.
1. Fully charge the battery pack.
2. Discharge on your camcorder.
3. Remove the battery pack from your
camcorder and store it in a dry, cool place.
•To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder, leave your camcorder in CAMERA
(standby) mode without a cassette inserted
until the power goes off.
Battery life
•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
drops little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. When the available
battery time is shortened considerably, a
probable cause is that the battery pack has
reached the end of its life. Please buy a new
battery pack.
•The battery life varies according to storage and
operating conditions, and environment for each
battery pack.
