About the battery
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity
and temperature and the effect increases the
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold
areas, the full charge indication may not appear
or the low battery indication may appear about
5 minutes after starting use. At high
temperatures, the protection function may be
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute
amount of current continues to flow even if
the unit's power is off. Keeping the unit in this
state may result in over discharge of the
battery. This may result in you not being able
to use the battery even after it is charged.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
≥ In cold places such as a ski resort, the period
during which you can record pictures is
shortened.
≥ When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC
adaptor (supplied) so that you can recharge
the batteries at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥ Attaching a battery with damaged terminals
can damage the unit.
Tips for storing the battery
≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag
so metal does not come into contact with the
terminals.
≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place
free from humidity, with as constant
temperature as possible. (Recommended
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C, Recommended
humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥ Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the
battery.
≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature,
high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥ To store the battery for a long period of time,
we recommend you charge it once every
year and store it again after you have
completely used up the charged capacity.
≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery
terminals should be removed.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may
result in an explosion.
≥ If the operating time is very short even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery
has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
