If the battery is left attached to DVD video camera/ recorder, it will consume a slight amount of power. Therefore, it is recommended that you charge the battery shortly before using the DVD video camera/recorder, usually on the day before you plan to use it. However, since the battery used for this DVD video camera/recorder is free from the memory effect. you do not need to completely discharge the battery before charging it. When not using the DVD video camera/recorder for an extended period: It is recommended that you fully charge the battery once a year, attach it to DVD video camera/recorder and use it up: then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again. Store in cool, dark place: When you are not using the DVD video camera/ recorder, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dark place. If you store it in a place where the temperature is high, the battery life will be shortened. Be especially sure not to store the battery in an environment (in a closed vehicle) over 60°C: Neglecting this could damage the battery. Battery life: The battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the DVD video camera/recorder is used. If the usable time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fully charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead: Purchase a new one. Power save and discharge of battery: It is recommended that you turn the DVD video camera/recorder off in status oll ler than recording, since even during recording pause battery power is consumed at the same level as during recording. If, when you specify Power Save On, the recording pause status continues for approximately 5 minutes, the DVD video camera/recorder will autotnatically turn off. To set or release power save, see "Turning DVD Video Camera/Recorder Off Automatically (Power Save)" on page 87.
