Battery Properties A lithium-ion battery is smal-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient temperature (below 50°F (10°0)) may shorten its usage time and affect its function. Before recording in low temperatures, put the battery into your

pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder.

Make sure to store the battery separately after use.

- A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.

- The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been installed and left in the camcorder for a long period of time. Ifthis occurs, the battery may

not fully operate even if you charge it.

- If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then, using your camcorder, drain the charge completely once every 3 months to keep the battery functioning properly. To store the battery, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.

Charge an extra battery before using the cameorder outdoors in cold temperatures.

- The cold temperature may shorten the available recording time.

- Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling.

Check whether the battery terminal is damaged ifthe battery falls or is dropped.

- If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you can damage the camcorder.

Remove the battery and the memory card from the eamcorder and

disconnect the AC power adaptor after use.

- Store the battery in a stable, cool and dry place. (Recommended temperature : 59°F - 77°F (15°O - 25°0), recommended humidity: 40%- 60%)

- Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime.

- The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is stored in a smoky or dusty location.

Recycle or dispose of your dead batteries properly.

The battery lifetime is limited.

- Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably

time to replace the battery with a new one.

- Each battery's life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental conditions.
