Panasonic SDR-S7 Operating Instructions Manual page 91

SD cards
● The memory capacity indicated on the SD card label is the total of the
capacity for copyright protection and management, and that ordinarily used by
the unit, computers, etc.
● MiniSD cards require a purpose-specific adaptor. Do not insert just the miniSD
card or just the adaptor. Also, do not insert and remove a miniSD card while
keeping the adaptor inserted into the unit. (This can cause damage.)
Battery
● The rechargeable lithium ion battery used with this unit is readily affected by
temperature and humidity. In cold places, the full battery indication may not
appear and a low battery warning may appear approx. 5 minutes after starting
use. In high temperatures, a protective function may be triggered, preventing
use.
● After use, always remove and store the battery.
• If left inside the unit, the battery may over-discharge because of small
amounts of current flow, ultimately damaging the battery.
• Place the battery in a plastic bag so as to prevent metal from contacting
terminals and store in a cool (15 - 25 ˚C) dry (40 - 60 % RH) place subject to
minimal temperature changes.
• Storing the battery in extreme cold or high heat may shorten the battery's
service-life. Moreover, places that are hot, humid or oily can rust terminals
and cause damage to the battery.
• During long-term storage, charge the battery once a year, then use it until
depleted and store it again.
• Clean battery terminals of adhering dust, etc.
● Bring a spare battery with you when going out.
• Bring 3 - 4x more battery power than you plan to use. In cold places such as
ski resorts, recording time becomes shorter.
• Do not forget the AC adaptor when traveling so that you can recharge
batteries.
● Do not use batteries if damaged or deformed (especially terminals) from
dropping, etc.
• This can cause damage to the unit.
● Do not throw batteries into fire.
• The battery may burst if heated or thrown into fire.
● If the battery does not last long immediately after charging, it has reached the
end of its service-life. Purchase a new battery.
● Notice about the rechargeable battery
• The battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
