(Unit: minutes.)
• Charging time: Approximate time (min.) required when you fully charge a completely exhausted battery
pack.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.
About battery packs
• The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 50°F (10°C) and 86°F (30°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.
Maintaining the battery pack
• The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
• We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the
battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as
chemical waste.
• Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
• To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
• Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left inserted on the
camcorder. It is recommended that you remove the battery pack from the camcorder.
• If the battery pack is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery pack and use it up on your
camcorder once every 6 months to maintain proper function. To store the battery pack, remove it from
your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool place.
About the battery life
• Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between
charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
