Panasonic SDR-S7PC Operating Instructions Manual page 97

oThe memory capacity indicated on the SD card label is the total of the
capacity for copyright protection and management, and that ordinarily used by
the unit, computers, etc.
oMiniSD cards require a purpose-specific adaptor. Do not insert just the miniSD
card or just the adaptor. Also, do not insert and remove a miniSD card while
keeping the adaptor inserted into the unit. (This can cause damage.)
oThe rechargeable lithium ion battery used with this unit is readily affected by
temperature and humidity. In cold places, the full battery indication may not
appear and a low battery warning may appear approx. 5 minutes after starting
use. In high temperatures, a protective function may be triggered, preventing
use.
oAfter use, always remove and store the battery.
• If left inside the unit, the battery may over-discharge because of small
amounts of current flow, ultimately damaging the battery.
• Place the battery in a plastic bag so as to prevent metal from contacting
terminals and store in a cool (15 - 25 °C (59 - 77 °F) dry (40 - 60 % RH)
place subject to minimal temperature changes.
• Storing the battery in extreme cold or high heat may shorten the battery's
service-life. Moreover, places that are hot, humid or oily can rust terminals
and cause damage to the battery.
• During long-term storage, charge the battery once a year, then use it until
depleted and store it again.
• Clean battery terminals of adhering dust, etc.
oBring a spare battery with you when going out.
• Bring 3 - 4x more battery power than you plan to use. In cold places such as
ski resorts, recording time becomes shorter.
• Do not forget the AC adaptor when traveling so that you can recharge
batteries.
• Do not use batteries if damaged or deformed (especially terminals) from
dropping, etc.
• This can cause damage to the unit.
• Do not throw batteries into fire.
• The battery may burst if heated or thrown into fire.
• If the battery does not last long immediately after charging, it has reached the
end of its service-life. Purchase a new battery.
