Mastering the Basics How much power is left? The battery symbols indicate the charge status of the battery pack. E When the battery pack is empty, "CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK" appears for 4 seconds and starts flashing. The battery charge indicators are not constant - they vary according to the condition under which battery pack and camcorder are used. Battery Pack Handling Precautions DANGER! Treat the battery pack with care. • Keep it away from fire (or it might explode.) • Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 140º F (60º C). Do not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather. • Do not try to disassemble or modify it. • Do not drop or knock it. • Do not get it wet. ❍ Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge. ❍ Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack. ❍ Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth. ❍ Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 86˚ F (30˚ C). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for all battery packs. ❍ Although the battery pack's operating temperature range is from 32˚ F to 104˚ F (0˚ C to 40˚ C), the optimal range is from 50˚ F to 86˚ F (10˚ C to 30˚ C). At cold temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use. ❍ Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal temperatures. 18
