Battery Care

• Your battery will provide better service

and longer performance if you charge
if before and after use, and store it at
normal room temperature.

• The battery should be charged at a
temperature of 32°F-95°F (0°C-35°C)
to prevent damage.

• Do not operate the battery at tempera-
tures below 14°F (-10°C) or above 95°F

Battery Storage ....................

Store the battery at normal room
temperature.

Lead acid batteries discharge if not
used. Recharge the battery at least
once ever six months or you may not
be able to recharge it.

(35°C). You might damage the

battery if you use it at temperatures

above 122°F (50°C). Operation
time decreases at extremely low
temperatures.

After repeated chargings and use
the operation time decreases. When
the operation time becomes too

short to be useful, it is time to
replace the battery.

A battery stored for long periods
might not supply power for the

specified time. Additional
rechargings might help restore
the battery's operation time.

Batteries being recharged that have not
been used for an extended period may
continue to charge after the normal
time. Do not charge a battery for more

than 24 hours.

• If the CHARGE indicator on the

adapter/charger starts flashing, remove
the battery, and reattach it. If after
several attempts, the indicator contin-
ues to flash, your battery cannot take a
charge and must be replaced.

• Throwing the battery into a fire or
exposing the battery to excessive heat -
over 149°F (65°C) could be hazardous.

16

• Do not short the battery's terminals.

• Allow the battery to cool down before
attaching it to the adapter/charger. The
CHARGE indicator will not light and

the battery will not charge if you attach

a hot battery.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or

modify the battery. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside.

• Use the battery only with specified AC
adapter/chargers and camcorders.

• If leakage from a damaged battery
contacts your skin or clothing, wash it
off immediately with running water.

Use the RCA Optional Car Cord Adapter

The optional DCC096 car cord shown on

page 50 allows you to power your

camcorder from the cigarette lighter
socket of a car, truck, or RV. It converts

12-volts to a 9.6-volt output.

Note: Consult the installation and operating
instructions enclosed with the DCC096 for

complete operating instructions.
