Notes on Using the Batteries
Charging and recording times
These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many
battery packs as you think you will need.
You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots,
instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 50°F and 86°F (10°C and
30°C).
The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.
You can use the battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it works
best between 50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C). Operating time will be shorter than
usual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better operating results, the
battery pack can be warmed in your pocket or someplace and then used.
If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at
normal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after
attaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at low
temperatures.
