long storage period, the POWER/CHARGE lamp may not
light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the
camcorder, then try charging again.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely short even
after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and
needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.

About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause
a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs
are small but have a large
power capacity. However,
when one is exposed to
cold temperatures (below
10°C/50°F), its usage time
becomes shorter and it
may cease to function. If
this happens, place the
battery pack in your pocket
or other warm, protected
place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack
itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack
does not come in direct contact with it.)
