Notes on the Rechargeable Battery Pack The Battery Pack 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 Pack 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. How to Use the Switch on the Battery Pack This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery pack. 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). [b] The Life of the Battery Pack If the 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 10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. [a] [b] Tips for Using the Battery Pac 43

Notes
on
the
Rechargeable
Battery
Pack
The
Battery
Pack
Heats
Up
During
charging
or
recording,
the
battery
pack
heats
up.
This
is
caused
by
energy
that

change
that
has

pack.
This
is
not

using
the
battery
pack,
and
keep
it
in
a
cool
place.
When
the

camcorder,
a
small
amount
of
current
flows
to
the
camcorder
even
if
the

switch
is
set
to
OFF,
which
shortens
battery
life.
The
battery
pack
is
always
discharging
even
when
it

Therefore,
you
