Tips for using the battery pack
Why the remaining battery indication does not match the
continuous recording time in the operation manual
The recording time is affected by the environmental temperature and conditions. The
recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording
time in the operation manual is measured under the condition of using a fully charged
(or normal charged
2)
) battery pack in 77°F (25°C). As the environmental temperature
and condition are different when you actually use the video camera recorder, the
remaining battery time is not same as the continuous recording time in the operation
manual.
1) Full charge: Charging for about 1 hour after the CHARGE lamp of the AC power
adaptor goes off.
2) Normal charge: Charging just until the CHARGE lamp of the AC power adaptor goes
off.
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.
Be sure to observe the following
Keep the battery pack away from fire.
Keep the battery pack dry.
Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
