The battery symbols indicate the charge status of the battery
pack.
When the battery pack is empty, "CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK"
appears for 4 seconds and
rn
starts flashing.
The battery charge indicators are not constant - they vary
according to the condition under which battery pack and
camcorder are used.
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode.)
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 140 0 F (60 0 C). Do
not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
o
Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore,charge them on
the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
o
Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
o
Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the
camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
o
Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully
and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 86° F (30° C). If you do
not use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once
a year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the
same time for all battery packs.
o
Although the battery pack's operating temperature range is from 32° F to 104° F
(0° C to 40° C), the optimal range is from 50° F to 86° F (10° C to 30° C). At cold
temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before
use.
o
Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially
at normal temperatures.
