Charging the Battery Pack
CD
NOTES
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will
ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10°C
and 30 °C (50 of and 86 OF). Outside the temperature range of
approximately 0 °C to 40°C (32 OF to 104 oF), charging will not start. Also,
when the battery itself is outside the temperature range of approximately
o
°C to 40°C (32 of to 104 OF), charging will not start.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using
the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge
them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer
than you think you might need.
• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that
powers the product is recyclable. Please call
1-800-8-BATIERY for information on how to recycle this
battery.
