PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK

● When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a
cool, dry place.
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be
subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,
etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service
life.
● When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the
operating time will be shortened.
● If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even
immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery
pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the
GY-DV5000 automatically stops operation if the battery
power operation is continued.
● Battery operating time may differ depending on the age of
the battery, charging conditions and the operating
environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for
approximate reference times.
● Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.
● Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens and
LCD are used frequently.
Recharging
● Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it.
Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could
result in reduced battery capacity.
● If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete
recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge
the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the
battery capacity.
● If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature
raised immediately after use, recharging may not be
performed completely.
