detached from the DVD video camera/

If the battery is left attached to DVD video
camera/recordel_ it will consume a slight
amount of power. Therefore, it is
recommended that you charge the battery
shortly before using the DVD video camera/
recorder, usually on the day before you plan to
use it.
When not using the DVD video camera/
recorder for an extended period:
It is recommended that you fully charge the
battery once a yeab attach it to DVD video
camera/recorder and use it up; then remove the
battery and store it in a cool place again.
Battery life:
The battery life varies greatly depending on the
ambient environment and how often the DVD
video camera/recorder is used. If the usable
time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fully
charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is
probably dead: Purchase a new one.

It is recommended that you turn the DVD video
camera/recorder off in status other than
recording, since even during recording pause
battery power is consumed at the same level as
during recording.

recording pause status continues for
approximately 5 minutes, the DVD video
camera/recorder will automatically turn off.
