ENGLISH
■ Optimum Use of the Battery
Special Characteristics of the Battery
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Its ability to
generate electric energy is based on an internal chemical
reaction. This reaction is easily influenced by ambient
temperature and humidity, and the useful operation time that
the Battery can provide becomes shorter at high and low
temperatures. When used In extremely cold surroundings, the
Battery may only be able to provide approximately 5 minutes
of operation time. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a
protection function is activated and prevents the use of the
Battery for some time.
After Use, Always Remove the Battery.
Be sure to remove the Battery from the Movie Camera.
(If it Is attached to the Movie Camera, a small amount of
electric current is consumed even if the Movie Camera Is
turned off.) Leaving the Battery attached to the Movie Camera
for a very long time could cause It to become excessively
discharged, so that it cannot be used any more even after
charging.
Discarding a Battery That Has Become Unusable
•The usable life of the Battery is limited.
•Do not throw the Battery in a fire because it could explode.
Keep the Battery’s Terminals Clean.
Be careful that the terminals do not get plugged up with dust,
dirt or other substances.
If you accidentally drop the Battery, confirm that the Battery
itself and the terminals are not deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie Camera or to the
AC Adaptor could damage the Movie Camera or the AC
Adaptor.
