Maintenance information and precautions
Charging the vanadium-lithium battery in your camcorder
Your camcorder is supplied with a vanadium-lithium battery installed so as to retain
the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The vanadium-
lithium battery is always charged as long as you are using your camcorder. The battery,
however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camcorder. It will be
completely discharged in about three months if you do not use your camcorder at all.
Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camcorder
operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery is
discharged.
Charging the vanadium-lithium battery:
•Connect your camcorder to house current using the AC adaptor supplied with your
camcorder, and leave your camcorder with the POWER switch turned off for more
than 24 hours.
•Or install the fully charged battery pack in your camcorder, and leave your camcorder
with the POWER switch turned off for more than 24 hours.
