About the "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack
Remaining battery time indicator
•If power goes off although the remaining
battery time indicator indicates that the battery
pack has enough power to operate, charge the
battery pack fully again so that the indication
on the remaining battery time indicator is
correct. Note, however, that the correct battery
indication sometimes will not be restored if it is
used in high temperatures for a long time or left
in a fully charged state, or the battery pack is
frequently used. Regard the remaining battery
time indication as the approximate recording
time.
•The E mark (indicating there is little
remaining battery time) sometimes flashes
depending on the operating conditions or
ambient temperature and environment, even if
the remaining battery time is about five to ten
minutes.
How to store the battery pack
•If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
do following procedure once per year to
maintain proper function:
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Discharge on your electronic equipment.
3. Remove the battery from the equipment and
store it in a dry, cool place.
•To use the battery pack up on your VCR, leave
your VCR in ON mode until the power goes off
without a cassette inserted.
Battery life
•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
drops little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. When the available
battery time is shortened considerably, a
probable cause is that the battery pack has
reached the end of its life. Please buy a new
battery pack.
•The battery life varies according to how it is
stored, operating conditions, and environment
for each battery pack.
