Long-term storage
• Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
• To extend the battery life of the battery pack, depleted it completely before storing it.
• Charge and depleted all your battery packs fully at least once a year.
Remaining battery time
When you are using a battery pack that is compatible with Intelligent System, if the remaining battery time
displayed is not correct, charge the battery pack fully. Still, the correct time may not be displayed if a fully
charged battery pack is used continuously in high temperatures or it is left unused for long periods of time. Also,
the correct remaining time may not be displayed, depending on the battery life. Use the time shown on the
screen as an approximation.
Regarding the use of non-Canon battery packs
• For your safety, battery packs that are not genuine Canon battery packs will not be charged even if you attach
them to this camcorder or to the optional CG-800 Battery Charger.
• We recommend using genuine Canon battery packs bearing the Intelligent
System mark.
• If you attach to the camcorder battery packs that are not genuine Canon battery packs, í will appear and
the remaining battery time will not be displayed.
SD Card
• We recommend backing up the recordings on the SD card onto your computer. Data may be corrupted or lost
due to card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost or corrupted data.
• Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
• Do not use SD cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
• Do not leave SD cards in places subject to high humidity and high temperature.
• Do not disassemble, bend, drop, or subject SD cards to shocks and do not expose them to water.
• Check the direction before inserting the SD card. Forcing an SD card into a slot if it is not correctly oriented
may damage the card or the camcorder.
• Do not attach any labels or stickers on the SD card.
Disposal
When you delete clips or initialize an SD card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not
physically erased. When you dispose of an SD card or give either to another person, initialize it first (A 32). Fill it
up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again. This makes recovering the original recordings very
difficult.
Built-in Backup Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in
backup battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will be completely depleted if you do not
use the camcorder for about 3 months.
To recharge the built-in backup battery: Connect the USB power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected
for 24 hours with the camcorder off.
