Notes regarding the Battery Pack
[] Please refer to the table on page 16 for approximate continuous recording time.
[] The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
[] The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.
[] The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F
(25 °C). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the
instructions.
[] When purchasing a new battery pack, we recommend buying the same Battery Pack that is provided with this
camcorder. The Battery pack is available at SAMSUNG retailers.
[] When the Battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
[] Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to record.
[] A brand new Battery Pack is not charged. Before using the Battery Pack, you need to charge it completely.
[] Fully discharging a Lithium Ion Battery damages the internal cells.
The Battery Pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
[] To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
[] If your Camcorder is in <Camera> mode, and it is left in <STBY> mode without being operated for more than 5
minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
[] Make sure that the Battery Pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.
