Notes on the rechargeable battery pack Caution Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. 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 and is normal. About InfoLITHIUM batteries The InfoLITHIUM is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that you use the InfoLITHIUM battery pack with video equipment having the (lfritotinoum mark. When you use this battery pack witri video equipment having the Cl) InI°LITHIUM mark, the video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes*. However, if you use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity will not be indicated in minutes. _ * The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment which the equipment is used under. If the indication is not accurate, use the battery pack completely and then charge it fully. The indication will become accurate. However, the indication may not become accurate if you use or leave the battery pack in a warm place for a long time, or after you have used the battery pack many times. Battery pack care • Remove the battery pack form the camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. This shortens battery life. • The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you should charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder. The switch on the battery pack This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery pack. Set the switch to the "green mark" position when charging is completed. (When removed from the charging adaptor, the switch exposes the green mark. When removed from your- camcorder, no mark is indicated.) The life of the battery pack 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 S0°F to 86°F (from 10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
