discharged, the battery's capacity may be reduced
over time. We recommend you discharge or "refresh"
your battery before recharging it.

Notes:
•
If you store a partially charged battery
for a long period of time, its
performance is reduced.

During charging or discharging, the
camcorder can't be operated.
•
Charging and discharging isn't possible if
the wrong type of battery is used.
•
If the battery operation time remains
extremely short even after having been
fully charged, the battery is worn out
and needs to be replaced. Please
purchase a new one.
