Recycling the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
If you should dispose of your camcorder, first remove the built-in rechargeable lithium battery for
recycling according to the recycling system of your country.
1. Remove the labeled plate shown in the
illustration using a flathead screwdriver.
2. Using a pair of cutters or tin snips, cut the 4
indicated plastic joints and remove the
cover.
3. Using a pair of pliers extract the flexible
board on which the lithium battery is
installed and pull to detach it.
Do not remove the cover for any other purpose than removing the battery for recycling when
disposing the camcorder.
When you have removed the battery, keep it out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately. The battery case may break and the battery fluids may damage
the stomach and intestines.
When removing the built-in lithium battery, disconnect all power (compact adapter and battery
pack) to the camcorder.
