Handling Precautions
Long-term storage
•
Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30
°
C (86
°
F).
•
To extend the battery life of the battery pack, discharge it completely before storing it.
•
Charge and discharge all your battery packs fully at least once a year.
Always attach the battery terminal cover.
Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals (figure 1), as this can
cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal cover
whenever the battery pack is not being used (figure 2).
The battery terminal cover has a [
ð
]-shaped hole. This is useful when you
wish to differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For
example, with charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the
[
ð
]-shaped hole shows the colored label.
Remaining battery time
If the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the battery pack fully. Still, the correct time may not
be displayed if a fully charged battery pack is used continuously in high temperatures or it is left unused for long
periods of time. Also, the correct remaining time may not be displayed, depending on the battery life. Use the
time shown on the screen as an approximation.

You can use the optional BP-970G / BP-975 battery packs with this
camcorder. However, as the battery compartment cover cannot be
closed when using these higher capacity battery packs, you will need to
remove it beforehand. Note that removing the battery compartment
cover will render the camcorder more exposed to moisture, dust and
foreign objects.
