Notes on Charging
T -T
Before using the battery pack, charge it sufficiently.
A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Make sure you use up the battery before recharging.
• If recording is completed before the CXd indicator
appears in the viewfinder, it is recommended that
you remove the tape, set POWER to CAMERA,
turn STANDBY up, and leave the camcorder until
the CXf indicator blinks rapidly.
• When you use the AC-S10 AC power adaptor, the DC-S10 car battery charger or
BC-S10 portable battery charger, you can discharge the battery with their discharging
function.
• Repeated charging without using up the battery may cause lowering of battery capacity.
However, the original battery capacity can be recovered if you fully discharge (use up)
and charge the battery again.
Recharge the battery pack after long storage.
If the battery pack is charged fully but not used for a long time (about 1 year), it becomes
discharged.
Charge it again but in this case the battery life will be shorter than normal. After several
charging and discharging cycles, the battery life will recover its original capacity.

Keep the Terminals Clean
. ... i..........................
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean,
the battery duration will be shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the
battery pack has not been used for a long time,
install and remove the battery pack from time to
time. This will improve the contact condition.
Also, wipe the + and - terminals with a soft cloth
or paper.
