Important!
Use the battery completely before rechargingl
Before you recharge the battery, make sure the battery has been used up (discharged) completely.
Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery capacity. However, the
original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery completely and charge it fully again.
To use up the battery, remove the cassette and slide the POWER switch to CAMERA with the battery
attached, and leave the camcorder until the <X> indicator and the red lamp in the viewfinder flash
rapidly.
Removing the Battery Pack
Slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow (see drawing).
