Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■	Please refer to the table on page 16 for approximate continuous
			■
	recording time.
			■
■	The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental
			■
	conditions.
■	The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As		■
	the environmental temperature and conditions vary.				F(25 C
■	The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are
	measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F (25 °C). The
	remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous		■
	recording times given in the instructions.
■	It is recommended you use the original Battery Pack that is available
	at SAMSUNG retailer.
	When the Battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local
	dealer.		■
	The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.		■
■	Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to
			■
	record.
			■
■	A brand new Battery Pack is not charged. Before using the Battery
				<Camera>	<STBY>
	Pack, you need to charge it completely.		■
■	Fully discharging a Lithium Ion Battery damages the internal cells.
	The Battery Pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
■	To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you		■
	are not operating it.

■If your Camcorder is in <Camera> mode, and it is left in <STBY> mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

■Make sure that the Battery Pack is fitted firmly into place.

Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.
