Preparing the Power Supply
Press the BATT. INFO button to display the remaining battery time and
available recording time (displays for 5 seconds). Depending on the battery
life, the battery information may not be displayed.
NOTES
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording
time will be displayed accurately.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 160) or the battery information screen (press the
BATT. INFO button while the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it
will give you a more accurate reading.
• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers the product is recyclable.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
