To record
Your camcorder is supplied with a vanadium-lithium battery installed so as to retain
the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The vanadium-
lithium battery is always charged as long as you are using the camcorder. The battery,
however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use the camcorder. It will be
completely discharged in about half year if you do not use the camcorder at all. Even if
the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camcorder operation.
To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery is discharged. The
following are charging methods:
• Connect the camcorder to house current using the supplied AC power adaptor, and
leave the camcorder with the POWER switch turned off for more than 24 hours.
• Or install the fully charged battery pack in the camcorder, and leave the camcorder
with the POWER switch turned off for more than 24 hours.
