When the camcorder is off and an Intelligent System-compatible battery
pack is attached, press the BATT. INFO (battery information) button to
display the remaining battery time and available recording time (displays
for 5 seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information may
not be displayed.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect to the compact power adapter any product that is not
expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
NOTES
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between
10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF). Outside the temperature range of
0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
If there is a malfunction with the compact power adapter or battery
pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.
For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to
Battery
Pack
(
0
189).
Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore,
charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full
charge.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times
longer than you think you might need.
The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will
ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually
shorten its battery life. When you are using the supplied BP-955 or
optional BP-975 Battery Pack, you can check the battery life on the
[Battery / Hour Meter] status screen (
0
180) or the battery information
screen (press the BATT INFO. button while the camcorder is turned off).
Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a
more accurate reading.
