Internal Lithium Battery Recharge
The internal lithium battery sustains the operation
of the clock. If the [ ] or [--] is Indicated when the
Camcorder is turned on, the internal lithium battery is
near exhaustion.
1 Connect the AC Adaptor to the Camcorder
with the power turned off and then connect
to the AC jack.
About date/time
• The Date and Time function are driven by a
built-in lithium battery.
• Make sure to check the time before recording.
• After charging for 4 hours, the built-in lithium battery
can power the clock for approximately 3 months.
• Leave the Camcorder as is for approx. 24 hours, and
the battery will drive the Date and Time for approx.
6 months. (Even if the [OFF/ON] Switch is set to
[OFF], the battery is still being recharged.)
