Tips for Using the Battery Pack When to Replace the Battery Pack While you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicator decreases gradually as battery power is used up. AM 4 (I= When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the .Cci indicator appears and starts flashing in the viewfinder. Ils] When the. indicator in the viewfinder changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, slide the POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and replace the battery pack Leave the tape in the camcorder to obtain smooth transition between scenes after the battery pack is replaced. Note on the remaining battery indicator The remaining battery indicator of the camcorder may indicate a different remaining capacity from that of the battery pack with its own indicator (not supplied). The indicator of the battery pack is more accurate. Note on the Rechargeable Battery Pack The Battery Heats Up During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been generated and a chemical change that has occurred inside the battery pack. This is not cause for concern. Battery Care • Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using the battery pack, and keep it in a cool place. When the battery pack is attached to the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF, which shortens battery life. • The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you should charge the battery right before using the camcorder. Now to Use the Switch on the Battery Pack This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery. 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 (or in whichever direction you want to remind yourself). It] The Life of the Battery Pack The battery pack can be fully charged and discharged about 500 times under normal temperatures. If the battery indicator flashes 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. Charging Temperature You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50°F to 86°F (from I0°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
