for long
time, or you
have repeated charging many times, the battery pack may not be able to show the
correct time even after being fully charged.
• After you have used the "lnfi_I,1T[ tlUM" battery pack with an eqmpment not having
the (i)_.,oL,r._uA, mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment
having
Ihe {'l)s._Ir.l._ mark and then recharge
fully.
Why the remaining battery indication does not match the
continuous recording time in the operating instructions
The recording time is ,affected bv the environmental temperature and conditions, lhe
recordmg time becomes ver_, short in a cold environmenl. The eonlinuous recording
time in the operatmg instructions is measured under the condition of using a fully
charged (or normal charged) battery pack in 25°C As the enviroimlental temperature
and condition are different when you actually use th< _amcorder, the remaining baltery
time is not same as the continuous recording time in the operating instructions.
J Full charge: (_harging until FULl, appears in the display window.
