Note: Use only "AA" alkaline batteries marked "LR6". (Manganese batteries cannot be used
to power the camcorder.)
Note: It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries within the recommended period of use
or within two years of the date of manufacture.
Note: Be careful of the following to prevent the leakage of liquid or an explosion.
Check that the orientation (polarity), of the batteries is correct.
Remove the batteries when not using the camcorder.
Remove the used batteries from the camcorder.
Do not use batteries made by different manufacturers at the same time.
Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.
Note: If the liquid leaks, remove the batteries immediately and ask your nearest dealer to
inspect the camcorder (this will be at your own expense).
Note: Do not let the batteries or the terminals of the camcorder get dirty. If they are dirty, use a
dry cloth to wipe off the dirt completely.
Note: It is recommended that you use a battery pack to power the camcorder when using a
DC camera light. If a camera light is used when the camcorder is powered by batteries, the
required supply voltage will be very short and the camcorder will turn off soon.
Note: When the batteries are used to power the camcorder in a cold place, it may not operate
normally; the operation time may become extremely short or the camcorder may not be turned
on. It is recommended that you use a battery pack to power the camcorder in a cord place. (At
10°C, the chemical reaction decreases the capacity of battery to one-tenth when compared to
that at normal temperature 20°C.)
Note: Noise may appear momentarily in the viewfinder when recording is started or stopped.
Note: Be careful when touching the batteries with your bare hand to remove them as they are
warm during and just after use.
Note: Since the supply voltage from batteries decreases more abruptly when compared to that
from a battery pack, the battery remaining level indicator (
noise may occur, the picture and sound may not be recorded normally and/or the power may
be turned off soon. These phenomena occur because the capacity of batteries becomes low.
So turn the power switch off and replace the batteries. If the power switch is left turned on in
this state, the power may turn on temporarily and turn off again repeatedly.
Note: Be sure not to short, disassemble, heat or throw batteries into fire. This is very
dangerous.
