•  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, set [A.SHUT OFF] 
to [NEVER] on the 

 (STANDARD 

SET) menu and leave your camcorder in tape 
recording standby until the power goes off (p. 
54).

•  The battery life is limited. Battery capacity 

drops little by little as you use it more and 
more, and as time passes. When the available 
battery time is shortened considerably, a 
probable cause is that the battery pack has 
reached the end of its life. Please buy a new 
battery pack.

•  The battery life varies depending on how it 

is stored and the operating conditions and 
environment for each battery pack.

About i.LINK

The DV Interface on this unit is an i.LINK-
compliant DV Interface. This section 
describes the i.LINK standard and its 
features.

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for 
transferring digital video, digital audio, 
and other data to other i.LINK-compatible 
devices. You can also control other devices 
using the i.LINK.
i.LINK-compatible devices can be 
connected using an i.LINK cable. 
Possible applications are operations and 
data transactions with various digital AV 
devices.
When two or more i.LINK-compatible 
devices are connected to this unit in a daisy 
chain, operations and data transactions are 
possible with not only the device that this 
unit is connected to but also with other 
devices via the directly connected device.
Note, however, that the method of 
operation sometimes varies according to 
the characteristics and specifications of the 
device to be connected. Also, operations 
and data transactions may not be possible 
on some connected devices.

•  Normally, only one device can be connected 

to this unit with the i.LINK cable. When 
connecting this unit to an i.LINK-compatible 
device having two or more DV Interfaces, refer 
to the operating instructions of the device to be 
connected.

•  i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 

1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and 
is a trademark approved by many corporations.

standardized by the Institute of Electrical and 
Electronics Engineers.
