The time required' for charging the battery is ap-
prox. two hours for VM-BP64 and three hours
for VM-BP65.
. When fully charged, the battery should supply
approx. 90 — 120 minutes of operating time for
VM-BP65 (45 — 60 minutes for VM-BP64) (de-
pending on how much you use zoom and pause).

room
temperature.
. Recharge your battery at least once every six
months.
The battery is a lead-acid battery.

If the battery is stored for
a
extended
length
of
time
without
being
recharged, you may not be able to recharge it.
. A battery charged after being stored for a long
period may not supply power for the specified
time. Additional rechargings will help restore the
battery's operation time.
. The battery should be charged at a temperature
of 32°F
—
95°F (0°C —
35°C) to prevent
damage.
. Do not operate the battery at temperatures below
14°F (— 10°C) or above 95°F (35°C). The battery
