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 (CHG). 
The pre-installed rechargeable battery 
is always charged while you are using 
your camcorder but it will get discharged 
gradually if you do not use your camcorder. 
The rechargeable battery will be fully 
discharged in 

about 3 months if you do 

not use your camcorder at all. 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.



Connect your camcorder to a wall socket  
using the AC adaptor supplied with your 
camcorder, and leave your camcorder with 
the POWER switch turned off for more 
than 24 hours.
