Battery Pack Handling
Make sure that you take enough battery packs
with you to provide two to three times your
estimated recording time.
Recording time will be reduced in cold weather.
The battery will drain in Recording Standby
mode. Turn off the power if you will not be
recording again soon.
Cautions
ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE
POWER OFF, BEFORE REMOVING THE
BATTERY PACK. If you remove the battery
pack during recording or playback, the tape will
remain wound around the video head drum and
may be damaged. Should the power source
(battery or adapter) become disconnected
during operation, reconnect it again immedi-
ately.
Do not expose the battery compartment door to
strong force, as it may come off.
Be sure to close the battery compartment door
firmly, especially before using the Camcorder. If
you do not, the battery pack may come out or
Camcorder operation may fail because of the
poor contact pressure.
Remove the battery pack from the Camcorder
or disconnect the Camcorder from the AC
adapter if the Camcorder will not be used for a
long time.
When removing the battery pack, do not tilt the
Camcorder so that the battery compartment
faces down. The battery pack may fall out.
