Tips for using the battery pack
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 the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
What is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
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.
How the battery consumption is displayed
The power consumption of the camcorder changes depending on its use, such as how
the autofocusing is working.
While checking the condition of the camcorder, the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
measures the battery consumption and calculates the remaining battery power. If the
condition changes drastically, the remaining battery indication may suddenly decrease
or increase by more than 2 minutes.
Even if 5 to 10 minutes is indicated as the battery remaining time in the viewfinder, the
i indicator may also flash under some conditions.
To obtain more accurate remaining battery indication
Set the camcorder to recording standby mode and point towards a stationary object. Do
not move the camcorder for 30 seconds or more.
• If the indication seems incorrect, use up the battery pack and then recharge it fully
(Full charge

). Note that if you have used the battery pack in a hot or cold
environment for long time, or you have repeated charging many times, the battery
pack may not be able to show the correct time even after being fully charged.
• After you have used the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with an equipment not having
the mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment
having the mark and then recharge fully.
