'The: Best: Way to Use-the: Battery Pack
Notes on Chargi
(C5)
Before using the battery pack, charge it
sufficiently. A brand-new battery pack is not
charged.
Recharge the battery pack only when it is
exhausted.
lf recording is completed before the mark
appears in the viewfinder, it is recommecded
that you remove the tape, set POWER to
CAMERA, Turn STANDBY to STANDBY, and
leave the camcorder until the XJ
mark
blinks rapidly.
Repeated charging while some capacity
remains causes a lowering of battery
capacity. However, the original battery
capacity can be recovered if you fully
discharge and charge the battery again.
Recharge the battery pack before using.
If the battery pack is charged fully but not
used for a long time (about 1 year), it becomes
discharged. Charge it again but in this case
the battery life will be shortened than normal.
After several charging and discharging cycles,
the battery life will recover its original capacity.
Keep the Terminals Clean
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are
not clean, the battery duration will be
shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the
battery pack has not been used for a long
time, install and remove the battery pack from
time to time. This will improve the contact
condition. Also, wipe the + and — terminals
with a soft cloth or paper.
