About batteries
The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that you
use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with video equipment having the mark.
When you use this battery pack with video equipment having the mark,
the video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes*. However, if
you use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity
will not be indicated in minutes.
* The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment
which the equipment is used under. If the indication is not accurate, use the battery
pack completely and then charge it fully. The indication will become accurate.
However, the indication may not become accurate if you use or leave the battery pack
in a warm place for a long time, or after you have used the battery pack many times.
Battery pack care
•
Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current
flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. This shortens battery life.
• The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging.
Therefore, you should charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder.
The switch on the battery pack
This switch is provided so that you can mark the charged battery pack. Set the switch to
the “green mark” position when charging is completed. (When removed from the
charging adaptor, the switch exposes the green mark. When removed from your
camcorder, no mark is indicated.)
The life of the battery pack
If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcorder with a fully
charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one.
Charging temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50°F to 86°F (from 10°C to 30°C).
Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
Notes on charging
A brand-new battery pack
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it completely.
Recharge the battery pack whenever you like
You do not have to discharge it before recharging. If you charged the battery pack fully
but you did not use it for a long time, it becomes discharged. Then recharge the battery
pack before use.
Notes on the terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery charge
duration will be shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long
time, repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a few times. This improves the contact
condition. Do not put any foreign objects such as dust or sand in the ‘ and ’ terminals.
