DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures higher than 60°C (140
OF).
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 with 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 30 °C(86
OF).
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 0 °C to 40°C (32 of
to 104
OF),
the optimal range is from 10°C to 30 °C (50 of to 86
OF).
At cold
te!11peratures, 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.
