Be sure not to do the following:
•
Short-circuit battery terminals.
• Disassemble or modify the battery.
• Throw the battery into fire.
Store the battery in a dark, cool place:
If you store it in a place where the temperature is high, the battery life will be short-
ened. Especially be sure not to store the battery in an environment (in a closed ve-
hicle) over 140
°
F (60
°
C): Neglecting this could damage the battery.
When you do not use DVD camcorder for a prolonged period of time:
It is recommended that you fully charge the battery once a year, attach it to the DVD
camcorder and use it up; then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again.
Battery life:
The battery can be repeatedly charged and used, but will eventually be dead: The
battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the
DVD camcorder is used. If the usable time of DVD camcorder with a fully charged
battery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead: Purchase a new battery.
Disposing of the dead battery:
Dispose of battery safety in accordance with local laws. Do not dispose of in fire.
Using charge marker:
Store batteries so that the charge marker ( ) can be seen: Uncharged batteries can
thus be easily identified.
