It is recommended you operate your camcorder 
about once a month to keep it in an optimum 
state for a long time.

Your camcorder has a pre-installed button-type 
battery to retain the date, time, and other 
settings even when the POWER switch is set to 
OFF (CHG). The pre-installed button-type 
battery is always charged while you are using 
your camcorder but it will get discharged 
gradually if you do not use your camcorder. The 
button-type battery will be fully discharged in 
about 3 months if you do not use your 
camcorder at all. However, even if the pre-
installed button-type 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 outlet using 
the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave it with the 
POWER switch set to OFF (CHG) for more 
than 24 hours.
