Notes regarding the battery pack
-  Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
-  To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not
operating it.
-  If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, 
and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes 
with a tape installed, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against
unnecessary battery discharge.
-  Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
-
A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
-
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making long 
recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. 
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste. 
-
To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts playback, 
or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. 
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
-  Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. 
It may damage the video heads.
