Do's and Don'ts • Secure Digital (SD) memory cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the card's content. To writeprotect the memory card set the switch to the LOCK position. LOCK switch Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months. To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected with the camcorder off. The built-in lithium battery will be fully charged after about 24 hours. Disposal When you delete movies or initialize the memory, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. When you dispose of the camcorder or memory card or give either to another person, initialize the camcorder's built-in memory (Donly) or memory card using the [Complete Initialization] option (A 41). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same option. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult. 278
