ately. Clean the contacts before inserting a new battery.

nections if necessary with a clean, dry cloth or an eraser.

Preventi ng damage to the battery

Never insert the battery the wrong way round. Always ensure
the correct polarity at the +/- terminals.

If the camcorder is not going to be used for long periods, re-
