The internal rechargeable battery
This camcorder has an internal rechargeable
battery for maintaining the date and time and other
settings regardless of whether the power is on or
off, or the battery is installed or not. This
rechargeable battery is continually charged as
long as you are using the camcorder. However, if
you use the camcorder for only short periods, it
discharges gradually, and if you do not use the
camcorder at all for about 3 months it becomes
completely discharged. In this case, be sure to
charge this rechargeable battery before using the
camcorder. However, even if this rechargeable
battery is not charged, you can still use the
camcorder as long as you do not record the date
and time. If the camcorder resets the settings to the
defaults each time you charge the battery, the
internal rechargeable battery may be dead.
Consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony
service facility.
• Charging method of the internal rechargeable
battery
Attach a charged battery pack into the
camcorder, or connect the camcorder to a wall
outlet (wall socket) using the AC Adaptor, and
leave the camcorder for 24 hours or more with the
power off.
Disposal/transfer of the memory card
Even if you delete data in the memory card or
format the memory card on your camcorder or a
computer, you may not delete data from the
memory card completely. When you give the
memory card to somebody, it is recommended that
you delete data completely using data deletion
software on a computer. Also, when you dispose of
the memory card, it is recommended that you
destroy the actual body of the memory card.
