The Battery Heats Up
During charging or recording, the battery pack
heats up. This is caused by energy that has been
generated and a chemical change that has
occurred inside the battery pack. This is not cause
for concern.
Battery Care
¢ Remove the battery pack from the camcorder
after using the battery pack, and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is attached to the
camcorder, a small amount of current flows to
the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set
to OFF, which shortens battery life.
The battery pack is always discharging even
when it is not in use after charging. Therefore,
you should charge the battery right before using
the camcorder.
How to Use the Switch on the Battery
Pack
When the switch is supplied with the battry pack
[c], you can use it to find whether the battery pack
is charged or not. Set the switch to the "no mark"
position when charging is completed. Set the
switch to the "red mark" position when the
battery is used up (or in whichever direction you
want to remind yourself).
The Life of the Battery Pack
If the &4J indicator flashes rapidly just after
turning on the camcorder with a fully charged
battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced
with a new fully charged one.
Charging Temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures from
10°C to 30°C (from 50°F to 86°F). Lower
temperatures require a longer charging time.
La bateria se calentara
Durante la carga o la grabacion, la bateria se
calentara. Esto se debe a la energia generada y al
cambio quimico que se produce en el interior de la
baterfa, y no significa problema alguno,
