Notes:
Charge the battery pack between 10°C and
30°C. The battery pack may not charge
properly at temperatures too low or too high.
The battery pack and charger become warm
during charging. This is not a malfunction.
Using the zoom (see page 21) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption.
This may result in a decrease in the actual
recording time compared to the maximum
continuous recording time listed above.
The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient temperature
and the condition of the battery pack.
• The maximum recording and playback time will
increase somewhat when you leave the battery
on the charger for 1 hour extra after the
CHARGE indicator turns off.
• See page 90 for more information on using the
battery pack.
Caution:
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L225 or BT-L445
battery packs. Other types of battery packs may
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
