RCA CC4251 User Manual

• Store the battery at normal room

temperature.

• Lead acid batteries discharge if not

used.  Recharge the battery at least
once ever six months or you may not
be able to recharge it.

• Your battery will provide better service

and longer performance if you charge
if before and after use, and store it at
normal room temperature.

• The battery should be charged at a

temperature of 32˚F-95˚F (0˚C-35˚C)
to prevent damage.

• Do not operate the battery at tempera-

tures below 14˚F (-10˚C) or above
95˚F (35˚C).  The battery might be

damaged if operated at temperatures
above 122˚F (50˚C).  Operation
time will decrease at extremely
low temperatures.

• After repeated chargings and use the

operation time will decrease.  When
the operation time becomes too short to
be useful, it is time to replace the
battery.

• Batteries being recharged that have not

been used for an extended period may
continue to charge after the normal
time.  Do not charge a battery for more
than 24 hours.

• If the CHARGE indicator on the

adapter/charger starts flashing, remove
the battery, and reattach it.  If after
several attempts, the indicator contin-
ues to flash, your battery cannot take a
charge and must be replaced.

• Throwing the battery into a fire or

exposing the battery to excessive heat –
over 149˚F (65˚C) could be hazardous.

• A battery stored for a long period

might not supply power for the
specified time.  Additional rechargings
might help restore the battery’s
operation time.

• Do not short the battery’s terminals.

• Allow the battery to cool down before

attaching it to the adapter/charger.  The
CHARGE indicator will not light and
the battery will not charge if you attach
a hot battery.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or

modify the battery.  There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.

• Use the battery only with specified AC

adapter/chargers and camcorders.

• If leakage from a damaged battery

contacts your skin or clothing, wash it
off immediately with running water.
