Sony HXR-NX5P Manual Do Utilizador

• Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent 

playback, fast forward or rewind operation 
wears out the battery pack faster.
We recommend using a large capacity battery 
pack: NP-F770/F970 (sold separately).

• Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF when 

not recording or playing back on your 
camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed 
when your camcorder is in recording standby or 
playback pause.

• Have spare battery packs ready for two or three 

times the expected recording time, and make 
trial recordings before making the actual 
recording.

• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The 

battery pack is not water resistant.

• When the power goes off even though the 

remaining battery time indicator indicates that 
the battery pack has enough power to operate, 
charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining 
battery time will be indicated correctly. Note, 
however, that the battery indication will not be 
restored if it is used in high temperatures for a 
long time, or if left in a fully charged state, or 
when the battery pack is frequently used. Use 
the remaining battery time indication as a rough 
guide only.

• The E mark that indicates low battery flashes 

even if there are still 5 to 10 minutes of battery 
time remaining, depending on the operating 
conditions or ambient temperature.

• 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, leave your camcorder in 
recording standby until the power goes off 
(p. 14).

• Battery capacity decreases over time and 

through repeated use. If decreased usage time 
between charges becomes significant, it is 
probably time to replace it with a new one.

• Each battery’s life is governed by storage, 

operating and environmental conditions.

• Use the AC Adaptor/Charger (supplied) to 

charge the designated batteries only. If you 
charge other types of batteries, those batteries 
may leak, heat up, burst, or give an electric 
shock, resulting in burns or injury.

• Remove the charged battery from the AC 

Adaptor/Charger.

• The CHARGE lamp of the supplied AC 

Adaptor/Charger flashes in 2 patterns as 
follows:
Fast-flashing...Turns on and off rapidly at about 
0.15-second intervals.
Slow-flashing...Turns on and off alternately for 
about 1.5 seconds, and turns off completely for 
about 1.5 seconds. The lamp repeats this 
sequence.

• If the CHARGE lamp is fast-flashing, remove 

the battery that is being charged, and then re-
attach the same battery again firmly. If the 
CHARGE lamp continues fast-flashing, the 
cause could be that the battery is damaged, or 
the battery is not a designated type. Check the 
battery to confirm whether it is a designated 
type or not. If it is a designated type, remove the 
battery first, and then attach a brand-new battery 
or another known-to-be-good battery to see if 
the AC Adaptor/Charger is working correctly. If 
the AC Adaptor/Charger is working correctly, 
the cause could be that the battery is damaged.

• If the CHARGE lamp is slow-flashing, the AC 

Adaptor/Charger is in standby mode and 
charging is suspended. When the ambient 
temperature is out of the appropriate 
temperature range for charging, the AC 
Adaptor/Charger suspends charging 
automatically and enters standby mode. When 
the ambient temperature returns to an 
appropriate temperature, the AC Adaptor/
Charger restarts charging and the CHARGE 
lamp lights up. We recommend charging the 
battery pack in an ambient temperature of 
between 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F).
