We recommend that you charge the battery pack in an ambient temperature range of 10 ˚C to 30 ˚C (50 °F to 86 °F) until the POWER/CHG (charge) lamp turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to charge it efficiently. The POWER/CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging under the following conditions. The battery pack is not inserted correctly. The battery pack is damaged. The temperature of the battery pack is low. Remove the battery pack from this product and put it in a warm place. The temperature of the battery pack is high. Remove the battery pack from this product and put it in a cool place. To use the battery pack effectively Battery pack performance decreases when the ambient temperature is 10 ˚C (50 °F) or below, and the length of time you can use the battery pack becomes shorter. If that happens, one of the following is recommended to enable longer use of the battery pack: Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and install it on this product immediately before you start shooting. Frequent use of the LCD monitor or a frequent playback, fast forward or reverse operation wears out the battery pack faster. Be sure to close the LCD monitor when not recording or playing back on this product. The battery pack is also consumed when this product is in recording standby or playback pause. Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings before making the actual recording. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant. You may not be able to turn on this product or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton swab to clean the battery. About the remaining battery power indicator
