Battery Pack
This VIEWCAM uses a lithium-ion type
battery pack. It is not necessary to store
the lithium-ion battery pack in a fully
discharged state. Also, if stored in the
charged state, the battery will gradually
self-discharge, resulting in decreased
recording time. Charge the battery pack
soon (a day) before use.
Battery pack consumption
oRecording with many starts and stops,
frequent zooming, and recording in low
temperatures will somewhat shorten
actual recording times. Accordingly, be
sure to turn off the power when not
recording. Use of an auxiliary battery
pack is recommended to prevent unde-
sirable interruptions in your recording.
l Do not use an insufficiently charged or
weak battery pack. Such battery packs
may cause the power to automatically
stop during VIEWCAM operation to pro-
tect both the battery pack and the unit.
Battery power is consumed even when
the VIEWCAM’s power is turned off. If
you are not going to use your VIEW-
CAM immediately, remove the battery
pack. (See page 15.)
Note:
l Use only the SHARP BT-L2 battery pack. It is
designed specifically for use with this VIEW-
CAM.

Temperature during charging
@Store the battery pack in a dry, cool
place.
@Charge the battery pack at temperature
of 10°C to 30°C.
For long battery lifetime
l Charge the battery pack (lithium-ion
type) at least once every six months.
.Do not leave the battery pack being
charged for long periods of time.
Cautions:
l If the battery pack is misused, there is danger
of fire or explosion. Pay close attention to the
following:
1. Do not dispose of in fire.
2. Do not allow metallic objects to come in
contact with the terminals. This can cause
a short circuit.
3. Do not disassemble or repair by yourself.
4. Do not use any battery charger other than
those designed for use with these battery
packs.
5. Do not place the battery pack under direct
sunlight or in excessively hot places (over
60°C) such as the dashboard of cars.
6. Do not expose to moisture, water. or salt
water.
7. Do not drop or subject to strong force.
8. Keep battery out of reach of children and
in the original package until ready to use.
9. Dispose of used batteries promptly.
l The battery pack will become warm during
charging and use. This is normal and not a
malfunction.
l The battery pack has a limited service life. If
the period of use becomes noticeably shorter
with a normal charge, the battery pack is at
the end of its service life.
Replace it with a new battery pack.
l For safety, keep the battery pack in its pro-
tective cover when it is not being used. If the
metal parts of the battery pack come in con-
tact with other metal objects, there is a
danger that a short circuit may occur.
