Panasonic HDC-DX1PC User Manual

LSQT1093

The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable 
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity 
and temperature and the effect increases the 
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, 
the full charge indication may not appear or the 
low battery indication may appear about 
5 minutes after starting use. At high 
temperatures, the protection function may be 
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥If the battery is left attached, a minute amount 

of current continues to flow even if the unit’s 
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may 
result in over discharge of the battery. This may 
result in you not being able to use the battery 
even after it is charged.

≥The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag so 

metal does not come into contact with the 
terminals.

≥The battery should be stored in a cool place 

free from humidity, with as constant 
temperature as possible. (Recommended 
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), 
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%) 

≥Extremely high temperatures or low 

temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

≥If the battery is kept in high-temperature, 

high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the 
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥To store the battery for a long period of time, 

we recommend you charge it once every year 
and store it again after you have completely 
used up the charged capacity. 

≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery 

terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for 
recording.
≥Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times 

the period during you want to record pictures in. 
In cold places such as a ski resort, the period 
during which you can record pictures is 
shortened. 

≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC 

adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries 
at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥Attaching a battery with damaged terminals can 

damage the unit or AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may 

result in an explosion.

≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely 

high or extremely low, charging may take time 
or the battery may not be charged.

≥If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure 

that the terminals of the battery or the AC 
adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects 
or dust, then reconnect them properly. 
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet 
when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust 
on the terminals of the battery or the AC 
adaptor. If the charging lamp is still flashing, 
something may be wrong with the battery or AC 
adaptor. Contact your dealer.

≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio 

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC 
adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the 
radio.

≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate 

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC 

adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount 
of current is consumed.)

≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor 

and battery clean.
