Battery Pack
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor
contact between the battery pack
and the camcorder. Wipe the
terminals with a soft cloth.
Long-term storage
• Store battery packs in a dry place at
temperatures no higher than 30 ° C.
• To extend the battery life of the
battery pack, discharge it completely
before storing it.
• Charge and discharge all your battery
packs fully at least once a year.
Remaining battery time
If the remaining battery time displayed
is not correct, charge the battery pack
fully. However, the correct time may not
be displayed if a fully charged battery
pack is used continuously in high
temperatures or it is left unused for long
periods of time. Additionally, depending
on the battery life, the correct time may
not be displayed. Use the time shown
on the screen as an approximation.

packs
• For your safety, battery packs that are
not genuine Canon battery packs will
not be charged even if you attach
them to this camcorder or to the
optional CG-800E Battery Charger.

battery packs bearing the
