Panasonic AG-AC90 Operating Instructions Manual page 114

Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4
times the period you are planning to record
for. Cold places such as a ski resort can
shorten recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥ When this unit or battery charger is attached
with the terminal part in a deformed state, this
unit or battery charger may be damaged.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may
result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery
has worn out. Please purchase a new
battery.
About the AC adaptor/battery
charger
≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely
high or extremely low, charging may take time
or the battery may not be charged.
≥ If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make
sure that the terminals of the battery or the
battery charger are not exposed to dirt,
foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them
properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet
when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust
on the terminals of the battery or the battery
charger.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the
temperature of the battery may be extremely
high or extremely low or something may be
wrong with the battery or battery charger.
Contact your dealer.
≥ If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger
near a radio, radio reception may be
disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery
charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the
radio.
≥ When using the AC adaptor or battery
charger, it may generate whirring sounds.
However, this is normal.
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable
from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit
connected, the AC adaptor will consume
approximately 0.3 W and the battery charger
approximately 0.3 W of current.)
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC
adaptor, battery charger and battery clean.
