Taking Care of the Battery Pack
BD
Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to
touch the terminals, as this can
cause a short circuit and damage
the battery pack. Attach the
terminal cover whenever the
battery pack is not being used.
Keep the terminals clean.
• The camcorder adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the
terminal are dirty. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is
not being used.
Storing the battery pack
• If you do not use a battery pack for a period of more than a few months
any remaining charge may cause damage to the battery pack, and reduce
usage time. To prevent damage therefore, aim to use a battery pack’s
complete charge before storage. See the optional battery pack’s
instructions for further details.
• If you have some battery packs, do these things at the same time for them.
When to Recharge
You can recharge a lithium ion battery pack whenever it is convenient. Unlike
a conventional battery pack, it does not have to be fully discharged first.
However, as the battery pack will naturally discharge itself over time, it is
best to charge it the same day you plan to use it, or the day before.

The indicator in the display shows you
approximately how much charge the battery
pack has left:
Notes:
• When the power is completely exhausted,
“CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK” appears in
the display for 4 seconds and the empty
battery mark starts to flash. The power
indicator light also flashes.
• The indicator is not constant — it varies
with the condition under which battery
pack and camcorder are used.
