Battery
Pack
DANGER!
Treat
the
battery
pack
with
care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might
explode).
•
Do
not expose the battery pack to
temperature higher than
60°C
(140
OF).
Do
not leave it near a heater or inside a
car
in
hot weather.
•
Do
not try to disassemble or modify
it.
•
Do
not drop or knock
it.
•
Do
not get it wet.
• Charged battery packs continue to
discharge naturally. Therefore, charge
them on the day
of
use, or the day before,
to ensure a full charge.
• Attach the terminal cover whenever a
battery pack
is
not
in
use. Contact with
metallic objects may cause a short circuit
and damage the battery pack.
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor
contact between the battery pack and the
camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft
cloth.
• Since storing a charged battery pack for
a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
Iifecycle or affect performance, we
recommend to discharge the battery pack
fully and to store it
in
a dry place at
temperatures no higher than
30°C
(86
OF).
If you do not use the battery pack
for long periods, charge and discharge it
fully at least once a year. If you have
more than one battery pack, perform
these precautions at the same time for all
battery packs.
• Although the battery pack's operating
temperature range
is
from 0
°C
to
40°C
(32
OF
to 104
OF),
the optimal range is
from
10°C
to 30
°C
(50
OF
to 86
OF).
At
cold temperatures, performance will
temporarily decline. Warm it
in
your
pocket before use.
