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.
Taking Care of the Battery Pack
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 terminals are dirty. Attach
the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.
Storing the battery pack
• Storing a charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or
affect performance. We recommend to discharge the battery pack in the camcorder fully and to
store it in a dry place. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully
and discharge it fully in the camcorder at least once a year before returning it to storage.

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.
