getting started About the battery • Battery Properties A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient temperature (below 10Cº) may shorten its life-span 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. - If the battery is installed and left in the camcorder for a long time, the battery discharges. If this occurs, you may not be able to use the battery, even if you charge it fully. - Keep the battery out of reach of children. - If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and use it up on your camcorder once per 6 months to maintain proper function. • Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors. - The cold temperature may shorten the length of time you can use the battery before needing to recharge it. - Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling. • Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the 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 camcorder and disconnect the AC power adaptor after use. - Store the battery in a stable, cool and dry place. (Recommended temperature : 59ºF ~ 77ºF (15Cº~ 25Cº), 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. • Do not throw the battery into fire. - Heating or burning the battery may cause an explosion. • Throw away the dead battery into a recycling bin. • 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. Using an AC power source We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when you set function settings, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. Make the same connections as you do when charging the battery. page 21 • Make sure to turn off the camcorder before disconnecting the AC power adaptor. Otherwise, you can damage the storage media or data. • Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder. • Do not use the AC power adaptor in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture. • Be sure to use the specified AC power adaptor to power the camcorder. Using other AC power adaptors could cause electric shock or result in fire. • The AC power adaptor can be used around the world. An AC plug adaptor is required in some 24 foreign countries. If you need one, purchase it from your distributor.
