Extending battery pack life Cleaning Even when the battery pack is not used, the capacity of the battery pack will naturally deteriorate over time. To limit the deterioration of the capacity, it is recommended to perform the following procedure at least once every six months: 1 Charge the battery pack until the POWER/CHARGE (RED) indicator turns off. 2 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder, and set the Power switch to v without inserting a cassette. Allow the battery power to fully discharge by leaving it on the camcorder until the camcorder power automatically turns off. 3 Remove the battery pack and store it between 50°F and 68°F (10°C and 20°C). AC Adapter • Many plastic parts are used in the camcorder casing. Do not use thinner, benzene or other strong chemical cleaners. These may cause discoloration and damage to the casing. • Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. If the casing is particularly dirty, wipe the casing with a tightly wrung cloth dampened with a diluted, neutral detergent. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth. • Use a soft cloth to wipe finger marks and other smudges off the LCD screen. • Use a soft cloth, or compressed air and lens paper designed for photographic lenses to clean the lens. • Pull out the viewfinder and open the window cleaning cover as shown below so that you can clean up the inside of the viewfinder with a camera blower. Window cleaning cover • The AC adapter may interfere with reception if used near a radio. • Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal objects from entering the adapter. • The adapter is a sealed unit.
