Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder
The battery must be charged as described on the next page before it can be used the
first time. Initial charging takes approximately 70 minutes for the FB1260 (100
minutes for the BB700). When fully charged, the FB1260 supplies approximately
50-55 minutes (BB700 approximately 75-85 minutes) of operating time – depending
on how much you use the light, zoom, and pause. Conserve battery power by turning
the camcorder off during recording breaks.
Note: Use the small marker switch on the top of the battery to help remind yourself to charge
the battery. It has no other purpose.
Attach the Charged Battery
If the DC cable is attached to the
camcorder, remove it before attaching
the battery. Also, install the lithium
clock cell before attaching the battery.
Details are on page 17.
1. Hook the top end of the battery to the
back of the camcorder as shown
above.
