| Battery pack notes
Charge the battery pack before you use it...
• You should charge a brand new battery pack
charge.then record.untj| discharged
twice before using it for the first time — a single
charge may not be enough. Charge it completely
(until the adapter's charge indicator glows
steadily), then disconnect it and charge it again.
Normally, you should not "double charge" the
battery pack in this way.
• The battery pack will naturally discharge itself
over time. You should charge it the same day you
plan to use it, or the day before.
• The battery pack becomes warm during use (and
during charging). Wait for it cool before charging
or using it again. It may not reach full charge if
warm.
...save power while you are recording...
• You will get more recording time from your battery pack if you turn the camera off between shots,
instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
• Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the battery pack between
0° and 40°C (32°-104°F), but it works best between 10° and 30°C (50°-86°F).
...and don't recharge it until it is exhausted.
• The camera flashes a cX warning when the charge has almost run out. After a few more minutes' use, the
camera turns off automatically. You can now either recharge or store the battery pack.
Disconnect the battery pack when you are not using it.
• Even when it turned off, camera will continue to slowly drain power from the battery pack. This means
the battery pack will be discharged beyond the normal level if you leave it attached for a long time.
Keep the terminals clean.
• The camera, adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminals are dirty. Cheek them before
use, and wipe them with a dry cloth or tissue if necessary.
DANGER!
Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the
terminals. The battery pack contains a great deal of
energy and short-circuiting it may cause a fire.
Attach the terminal cover whenever you are not
using the battery pack.
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
