The "InfoLITHIUM"
battc, ry pack is a lithium-ion
battery

• Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camcorder.
• We recommend
charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C
to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the CHG lamp goes out, indicating
that the battery pack is
fully charged. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature
range, you
may not b_, able to efficiently
charge, the battc, ry pack.
• After charging
is completed,
either disconnect
the cable from the DC IN jack on your
camcorder
or remove
the battery
pack.
Effective
use of
the
battery
pack
• Battery pc_rformance
de,creases in low-temperature
surroundings.
So, th_ time that the
battery
pack can be used is shorter
in cold places. We recommend
the following
to use
the battery
pack longs, r:
Put the battery
pack in a pocket close to your body to warm
it up, and insert it in
your camcorder
immediately
before you start taking
shots.
-idse
the large capacity
battery
pack (NP-F730/F730H/F750/F930/F950/F960,
optional).
• Frequently
using the LCD panel or frequently
operating
playback,
fast forward
or
rewind
wears out the battery
pack faster. We recommend
using the large capacity
battery
pack (NP-F730/F730H/F750/F930/F950/F960,
optional).
• Be certain
to turn the POWER switch
to OFF (CHARGE)
when not taking shots or
playing
back on your camcorder.
The battery
pack is also consumed
when your
camcorder
is in the standby
mode
or playback
is paused.
• Have spare battery
packs f_andy for two or three times the expected
recording
time,
and make a trial recording
before the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery
pack to water.
The battery
pack is not water-resistant.
Remaining
battery
time
indicator
• If the power
goes off although
th_ remaining
battc, ry 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
shooting
time.
• The _\_ nrark 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 5 to 10 minutes.
How
to store
the
battery
pack
• Even if tlrc_battc,ry pack is not used fox"a long time, store it in
a dry,
cool place after
fully charging
it once per year and then using the battery
pack up on your camcorder.
This is to maintain
the battery

functions.
• To use the battery

Battery
life
• The battery
life is limited.
Battery

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
