Precautions
Battery power is consumed even when the
VIEWCAM's power is turned off. If the VIEWCAM
will not be used, remove the battery pack. (See
Battery pack consumption
l
Recording with many starts and stops, frequent
zooming, and recording in low temperatures
will somewhat shorten actual recording time.
Accordingly, be sure to turn off the power when
not recording. Make sure that you take enough
battery packs with you to provide two to three
times your estimated recording time.
l
Do not use an insufficiently
charged or weak
battery pack. Such battery packs may cause
the power to automatically stop during
VIEWCAM operation to protect both the battery
pack and the unit.
w
This VIEWCAM uses a Ni-Cd (nickel-
cadmium) type or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type
battery pack. Use only the SHARP BT-N1 , BT-N11 or
BT-H11 battery packs. They are designed specifically
for use with this VIEWCAM.
Battery pack life
The battery pack has a limited service life. If the
period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a
normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of
its service life.
Replace it with a new battery pack.
Extending battery pack life
We recommend that you use the battery pack until
its charge is fully drained and the VIEWCAM is
inoperable before recharging the pack.
Recharge the battery pack right before recording.
A battery pack stored for an extended time will
naturally wear down, resulting in decreased
recording time.
Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery pack
before it has been discharged, as this will cause
deterioration of the battery's capacity.
Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.

How to use the battery pack cover
l
After the battery pack is charged, put the cover on
it so that the "CHARGE" mark printed on the label
is seen through the window, as shown.
Window
Cover
l
Before the battery pack is charged, put the cover
upside down so that only the battery pack casing is
seen through the window.
Temperature during charging
l
The Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium)
type BT-Nl, BT-N11
battery pack can be charged at temperatures of
0°C to 40°C. To utilize the battery's full capacity, it
is recommended that charging take place at
temperatures of 10°C to 35°C.
l
The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BT-H11
battery pack can be charged at temperatures of
10°C to
30°C.
w
For safety, keep the battery pack in its
protective cover when it is not being used. If the
metal parts of the battery pack come in contact with
other metal items, there is a danger that a short
circuit may occur.
