Do not store a battery pack where it
can reach high temperatures.
Remove the battery from the
camcorder when it is not in use to
prolong the battery life.
Recharge the battery just before it is
used. If the battery is recharged and not
used, it will slowly lose its charge.
Make sure to exhaust the charge of the
battery pack completely when
recording. If the battery pack is
recharged when the previous charge is
not completely exhausted, the charge
time gradually decreases.
Charge the battery within a
temperature range of 10ºC to 30ºC
(50ºF to 86ºF) to prevent damage.
After repeated chargings and use, the
operation time decreases gradually .
When the operation time becomes too
short to be useful, it is time to replace the
battery.
The battery pack charging/operating
time in the table are approximate.
The operating time of the battery may
be shorter than normal even after a
full charge:
• If it is used for the first time.
The operating time is restored to its
original level after the battery has
been used two or three times
(completely discharged and
recharged) or after it has been
recharged using the REFRESH
function.
• If it is used in low temperatures.
• If it is discharged completely and
stored for a long period (more than 3
months).
• If it is stored at temperatures above
40ºC (104ºF).
• If the record-pause mode is used
frequently.
• If loading and unloading the cassette
is used excessively.
