On charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date, time,
and other settings even when the POWER
switch is set to OFF. The pre-installed
rechargeable battery is always charged
while your camcorder is connected to the
wall socket via the AC Adaptor or while the
battery pack is inserted. The rechargeable
battery will be fully discharged in about 3
months if you do not use your camcorder
at all without the AC Adaptor connected or
the battery pack attached. Use your
camcorder after charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed
rechargeable battery is not charged, the
camcorder operation will not be affected as
long as you are not recording the date.
