Noed ii/anes Jno,/41 io In° isovy ay/ 6ulaae Keep the Terminals Clean If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery duration will be shortened. When the terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long time, install and remove the battery pack from time to time. This will improve the contact condition. Also, wipe the + and - terminals with a soft cloth or paper. Notes on the Rechargeable Battery •ack Why the battery pack heats up? During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This means energy has been generated and chemical change has occurred inside the battery pack, and this is not dangerous. How to care for the battery pack • Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool place. When the battery pack is in the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder even if it's turned off. This gradual discharge shortens battery life. • The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Thus, it is recommended you charge the battery right before using. How to use the switch on the battery pack This switch is provided so that you can remember the charging condition. Set the switch to the "no mark" position when charging is completed. Set the switch to the "red mark" position when the O O battery is used up. How many times can the battery pack be recharged? The battery pack can be fully charged and discharged about 500 times under normal temperatures. If the indicator blinks rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one. Recommended temperatures during charging Charging under temperatures ranging from 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 85°F) is recommended. Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. Be sure to observe the following • To prevent an accident caused by a short circuit, do not allow metal objects such as a necklace to touch the battery terminals. Carry the battery pack attaching to the terminal cover. • Keep the battery pack away from fire. • Keep the battery pack dry. • Do not open nor convert the battery pack. • Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock. 21 Basic Camera Operation

has
not
been
used
for
a
long
time,
install
and

the
Rechargeable
Battery
•ack
Why
the
battery
pack
heats
up?
During
charging
or
recording,
the
battery
pack
heats
up.
This
means
energy
has
been
generated
and
chemical
change
has
occurred
inside
the
battery
pack,
and
this
is
not
dangerous.
How
to
care
for
the
battery
pack
•
Remove
the
battery
pack
from
the
camcorder
after
using
it,
and
keep
it
in
a
cool
place.
When
the
battery
pack
is
in
the
camcorder,
a
small
amount
of
current
flows
to
the
camcorder
even
if
it's
turned
off.
This
gradual
discharge
shortens
battery
life.
•
The
battery
pack
is
always
discharging
even
when
it
is
not
in
use
after
charging.
Thus,
it
is
recommended
you
charge
the
battery
right
before
using.
How
to
use
the
switch
on
the
battery
pack
This
switch
is
provided
so
that
you
can
remember
the
charging
condition.
Set
the
switch
to
the
"no
mark"
position
when
charging
is
completed.
Set
the
switch
to
the
"red
mark"
position
when
the
battery
is
used
up.

How
many
times
can
the
battery
pack
be
recharged?
The
battery
pack
can
be
fully
charged
and
discharged
about
500
times
under
normal
temperatures.
If
the
indicator
blinks
rapidly
just
after
turning
on
the
camcorder
with
a
fully
charged
battery
pack,
the
battery
pack
should
be
replaced
with
a
new
fully
charged
one.
Recommended
temperatures
during
charging
Charging
under
temperatures
ranging
from
10°C
to
30°C
(50°F
to
85°F)
is
recommended.
Lower
temperatures
require
a
longer
charging
time.
Be
sure
to
observe
the
following
•
To
prevent
an
accident
caused
by
a
short
circuit,
do
not
allow
metal
objects
such
as
