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. 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 1 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, the optimal range is
from 10 ºC to 30 ºC. 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.
About the battery terminal cover
The battery terminal cover has a [ ]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to differentiate between
charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so
that the [ ]-shaped hole shows the blue label.
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. 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 or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
