Battery Remaining Level Indicator
When the battery is used to power the DVD video camera/recorder, the battery remaining level appears
in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen as follows:
Fully charged
Nearly empty
(Blinks)
White portion shows
remaining level
Note:
Be sure to use the specified battery (DZ-
BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately) or DZ-BP28 (sold
separately)). Using other batteries could cause
faulty DVD video camera/recorder operation, or
possibly a fir e.
Note:
If a charged battery is stored, it will discharge
on its own; therefore, it is recommended that you
charge the battery shortly before using the DVD
video camera/recorder, such as on the day before
you plan to use it. You do not need to completely
discharge the battery before charging it.
Note:
When you are not using the DVD video cam-
era/recorder, remove the battery and store it in a
dark, cool place. If you store it in a place where the
temperature is high, the battery life will be short-
ened. Especially be sure not to store the battery in
an environment (in a closed vehicle) over 140
°
F
(60
°
C): Neglecting this could damage the battery.
Handling the dead battery
•
Do not dispose of the dead battery: Let
a rechargeable battery recycling coop-
erative store take charge of it.
Using charge marker
•
For a charged battery, slide the charge
marker knob at rear so that the charge
marker (
●
) is visible: Uncharged bat-
teries can thus be easily identified.

Note:
It is recommended that you fully charge the
battery once a year, attach it to the DVD video
camera/recorder and use it up; then remove the
battery and store it in a cool place again.
Note:
The battery can be repeatedly charged
and used, but will eventually be dead: The bat-
tery life varies greatly depending on the ambient
environment and how often the DVD video cam-
era/recorder is used. If the usable time of DVD
video camera/recorder with a fully charged bat-
tery is noticeably short, the battery is probably
dead: Purchase a new battery.
