• The chart specifies the approximate times in minutes.
Notes:
• Charge the battery pack between 10°C and 30°C.
The battery pack may not charge properly at
temperatures too low or too high.
• The battery pack and charger become warm
during charging. This is not a malfunction.
• Using the zoom (see page 20) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption. This
may result in a decrease of more than 50% in the
actual recording time compared to the maximum
continuous recording time listed above.
• The charging time and recording time may vary
depending on the ambient temperature and the
condition of the battery pack.
• See page 89 for more information on using the
battery pack.
Caution:
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L221, BT-L441, BT-
LS222 or BT-LS442A battery packs. Other types of
battery packs may burst, causing personal injury
and damage.
Extending battery pack life
Even when the battery pack is not used, the
capacity of the battery pack will naturally deterio-
rate over time. To limit the deterioration of the
capacity, it is recommended to perform the
following procedure at least once every six months:
1 Charge the battery pack until the CHARGE
indicator of the charger turns off.
2 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder, and
set the Power switch to CAMERA without
inserting a cassette. Allow the battery power to
fully discharge by leaving it on the camcorder
until the camcorder power automatically turns off.
3 Remove the battery pack and store it between
10°C and 20°C.
