About the battery

•  Battery properties

  A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low 

ambient temperature (below 50ºF (10ºC)) may shorten its usage 

time and affect its function. Before recording in low temperatures, 

put the battery into your pocket to warm it, then install it in the 

camcorder.

•  Make sure to store the battery separately after use. 

-  A small amount of battery power is consumed when the 

battery is stored in the camcorder even if the camcorder 

power is off. 

-  The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been 

installed and left in the camcorder for a long period of time. 

If this occurs, the battery may not fully operate even if you 

charge it.

-  If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the 

battery and then, using your camcorder, drain the charge 

completely. Do this once every 3 months to keep the battery 

functioning properly. To store the battery, remove it from your 

camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.

•  Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder 

outdoors in cold temperatures.

-  The cold temperature may shorten the length of time you can 

use the battery before needing to recharge it.

-  Carry the supplied USB cable and power adaptor to charge 

the battery while travelling. 

•  Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery 

falls or is dropped.

-  If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the 

camcorder, you can damage the camcorder.

•  Remove the battery and the memory card from the 

camcorder and disconnect the power adaptor after use.

-  Store the battery in a stable, cool, and dry place.  

(Recommended temperature : 59ºF~77ºF (15ºC~25ºC), 

recommended humidity: 40%~60%)

-  Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery 

lifetime.

-  The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the 

battery is stored in a smoky or dusty location. 

•  Recycle or dispose of your dead batteries properly. 
•  The battery lifetime is limited. 

-  Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated 

use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes 

significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new 

one.

-  Each battery’s life is affected by storage, and operating and 

environmental conditions.
