Battery Pack

Battery pack consumption
• Recording with many starts and stops,
frequent zooming, and recording in low
temperatures will shorten actual recording
times. Accordingly, be sure to turn off the
power when not recording. Use of an auxiliary
battery pack is recommended to prevent
undesirable interruptions in your recording.
• Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak
battery pack. Use of such battery packs may
cause the power to automatically stop during
VIEWCAM operation to protect both the
battery pack and the unit.
Note:
• This VIEWCAM uses a Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride) type battery pack. Use only the
SHARP BT-H22 or BT-H32 battery packs.
They are designed specifically for use with
this VIEWCAM.
Battery pack life
The battery pack has a limited service life. If
the period of use becomes noticeably
shorter with a normal charge, the battery
pack is at the end of its service life. Replace
it with a new battery pack.
Extending battery pack life
• It is recommended that you use the battery
pack until its charge is fully drained and the
VIEWCAM is inoperable before recharging
the pack.
• Recharge the battery pack right before
recording. A battery pack stored for an
extended time will naturally wear down,
resulting in decreased recording time.
• Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery
pack before it has been discharged, as this
will cause deterioration of the battery's
capacity.
• Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.
How to use the battery pack cover
• When storing a fully charged battery pack,
put the cover on it so that the "CHARGE"
mark printed on the label is seen through the
window, as shown.

• When storing a battery pack that is not fully
charged, put the cover upside down so that
only the battery pack casing is seen through
the window.
Caution:
• For safety reasons, put the cover on the
battery pack when it is not being used. If the
metal parts of the battery pack come in
contact with other metal items, there is a
danger that a short circuit may occur.
Battery power is consumed even when the
VIEWCAM's power is turned off. If you are not
going to use your VIEWCAM immediately,
remove the battery pack (see page 7).
Temperature during charging
• The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BT-H22
and BT-H32 battery packs can be charged at
a temperature of 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
