To charge the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date, time,
and other settings even when the POWER
switch is set to OFF (CHG). The pre-installed
rechargeable battery is always charged while
you are using your camcorder but it will get
discharged gradually if you do not use your
camcorder. The rechargeable battery will be
fully discharged in about 3 months if you
do not use your camcorder at all. However,
even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery
is not charged, the camcorder operation will
not be affected as long as you are not
recording the date.
