Samsung SC-HMX20C-XAA - Manual (Page 27)

Continuous recording (without zoom)
The times shown in the table reflect the available recording time when the HD camcorder is in the recording mode
without using any other functions. In actual recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this
reference since the Record start/stop and Zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the
recordable time with a fully charged battery pack is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so have enough
battery packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the HD camcorder.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in cold environment.
• The charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.
• To check the remaining battery charge, press and hold the Display ( )/ iCHECK button. page 22

pack.

3. Close the battery pack cover.
• Additional battery packs are available at your local Samsung
dealer.
• If the HD camcorder will not be in use for a while, remove the
battery pack from the HD camcorder.
About battery packs
• The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). However,
when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), its usage time reduces and it may cease to function.
If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then
re-insert it.
• Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).
• Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.
• Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, generate heat, or cause fire.
