Maintenance
and
precautions
(Continued)
82
- Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH701
FHlOO (optional).
• Frequent use
of
the LCD screen
or
a frequent
playback, fast forward or rewind operation
wears out the battery pack faster.
We recommend using a large capacity battery
pack: NP-FH70IFHIOO (optional).
• Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF
(CHG) when not recording
or
playing back on
your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in recording
standby or playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for two
or
three
times the expected recording time, and make
trial recordings before making the actual
recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.
About
the
remaining
battery
time
indicator
• When the power goes
off
even though the
remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate,
charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining
battery time will be indicated correctly. Note,
however, that the battery indication will not
be
restored
if
it is used
in
high temperatures for a
longtime,
or
if
left in a fully charged state,
or
when the battery pack is frequently used. Use
the remaining battery time indication as a rough
guide only.
• The
~
mark that indicates low battery flashes
even
if
there are still 5 to
10
minutes
of
battery
time remaining, depending on the operating
conditions or ambient temperature.
About
storage
of
the
battery
pack
• If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it
in
a dry, cool
place.
• To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, set [A.SHUT OFF] to
[NEVER] on the
III
(STANDARD SET)
menu and leave your camcorder in tape
recording standby until the power goes
off
(p.52).
About
battery
life
• Battery capacity decreases over time and
through repeated use.
If
decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery's life is governed by storage,
operating and environmental conditions.
The DV Interface on this unit is an i.LINK-
compliant DV Interface. This section
describes the i.LINK standard and its
features.
What
is
i.LlNK?
i.LINK
is
a digital serial interface for
transferring digital video, digital audio, and
other data to other i.LINK-compatible
devices. You can also control other devices
using the i.LINK.
i.LINK-compatible devices can be
connected using an LLINK cable. Possible
applications are operations and data
transactions with various digital AV
devices.
When two
or
more i.LINK-compatible
devices are daisy-chained with the unit,
operation becomes possible from any
device in the chain. Note that operation
method may vary, or data transactions may
not be possible, depending on specifications
and characteristics
of
the connected
devices.
" Notes
• Normally, only one device can be connected to
this unit with an i.LINK cable. When
connecting this unit to an LLINK-compatible
device having two
or
more DV Interfaces, refer
to the operating instructions
of
the device to be
connected.

Tips
• i.LINK
is
a more familiar term for the IEEE
1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and
is a trademark approved by many corporations.
