Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors.
- The cold temperature may shorten the length of time you can use the battery before
needing to recharge it.

camcorder.
•

Maintaining the battery
•
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.
- If the battery is installed and left in the camcorder for a long time, the battery discharges.
If this occurs, you may not be able to use the battery, even if you charge it fully.
- Keep the battery out of reach of children.
- To store the battery for a long time, we recommend you keep the battery charged at about
half of its full capacity and charge the battery once every 3 months.
•
Remove the battery and the memory card from the camcorder after use.
- Store the battery in a stable, cool, and dry place.
(Recommended temperature : 15Cº~ 25Cº (59ºF ~ 77º), 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.
