Important Notes on Operation
55
Appendices
• Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF when
not recording or playing back on your
camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed
when your camcorder is in recording standby or
playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times
the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.
About the remaining battery indicator
• Check the level with the following indicators
displayed on the LCD screen.
• The displayed level may not be correct under
certain circumstances.
• When the power goes off even though the
remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate,
charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining
battery time will be indicated correctly. Note,
however, that the battery indication will not be
restored if it is used in high temperatures for a
long time, or if left in a fully charged state, or
when the battery pack is frequently used. Use
the remaining battery time indication as a rough
guide only.
About storage of the battery pack
• If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool
place.
• To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, leave your camcorder in
recording standby until the power goes off
(page 19).
About battery life
• Battery capacity decreases over time and
through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery’s life is governed by storage,
operating and environmental conditions.
About charging the battery pack
• Use the Charger (supplied) to charge the
designated batteries only. If you charge other
types of batteries, those batteries may leak, heat
up, burst, or give an electric shock, resulting in
burns or injury.
• Remove the charged battery from the Charger.
• The charge lamp of the supplied Charger
flashes in 2 patterns as follows:
Fast-flashing...Turns on and off rapidly at about
0.15-second intervals.
Slow-flashing...Turns on and off alternately for
about 1.5 seconds, and turns off completely for
about 1.5 seconds. The lamp repeats this
sequence.
• If the charge lamp is fast-flashing, remove the
battery that is being charged, and then reattach
the same battery again firmly. If the charge
lamp continues fast-flashing, the cause could be
that the battery is damaged, or the battery is not
a designated type. Check the battery to confirm
whether it is a designated type or not. If it is a
designated type, remove the battery first, and
then attach a brand-new battery or another
known-to-be-good battery to see if the Charger
is working correctly. If the Charger is working
correctly, the cause could be that the battery is
damaged.
• If the charge lamp is slow-flashing, the Charger
is in standby mode and charging is suspended.
When the ambient temperature is out of the
appropriate temperature range for charging, the
Charger suspends charging automatically and
enters standby mode. When the ambient
temperature returns to an appropriate
temperature, the Charger restarts charging and
the charge lamp lights up. We recommend
charging the battery pack in an ambient
temperature of from 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to
86 °F).
