Using the Battery to Power Your Camcorder
The battery must be charged as described on the next
page
before it can be used the
first time. Initial charging will take approximately 70
minutes. When fully charged,
the battery should supply about 55 minutes of operating time (depending on how much
you use zoom and pause). Conserve battery power by turning the camcorder off during
recording breaks.
Note: The small marker switch on top of the battery is for use as a personal reminder to help
you remember to recharge the battery.
It has no other function.
