Battery Pack Handling Precautions
Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or
the day before, to ensure a full charge.
Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact with metallic objects may
cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the
terminals with a soft cloth.
Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect
performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and to store it in a dry place at
temperatures no higher than 30 ºC (86 ºF). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods, charge
and discharge it fully at least once a year. If you have more than one battery pack, perform these
precautions at the same time for all battery packs.
Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), the
optimal range is from 10 ºC to 30 ºC (50 ºF to 86 ºF). At cold temperatures, performance will
temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.
Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal
temperatures.
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 ºC (140 ºF). Do not leave it near a heater or inside a car
in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.
• Do not get it wet.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly attached. Attach only with the same type.
