CONVENIENT OPERATION OF THE UNIT
Checking the remaining amount
of battery charge
The remaining amount of battery charge
is shown by the battery indicator (
during operation.
< How to read the battery indicator >
When the battery is
completely charged
When the battery needs charging, it is
impossible to start recording or editing.
When the battery is completely discharged,
the whole battery indicator will flash. Re-
charge the battery or replace the alkaline
battery with a new one.
When the battery has run completely out,
"BATT EMPTY" (main unit) and "Lo BATT"
(remote control unit) will appear. Then, the
power will be disconnected automatically.
Notes:
When using the unit with an alkaline bat-
tery or a rechargeable battery, the battery
indicator will not correctly display the remain-
ing capacity for approximately 20 seconds
after the power has been turned on.
When the AC adaptor included with this unit
or a separately available car adaptor is
used, the battery indicator will not be shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery
indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being performed.
This is normal.
When the rechargeable battery and the al-
kaline battery are used at the same time,
the rechargeable battery is used first, then
the alkaline battery.
Since the battery indicator shows the re-
maining amount of the particular battery
being used, the number of bars will in-
crease when the unit switches to the al-
kaline battery.
