DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode.)
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 140° F (60° C). Do
not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
O Charged battery packscontinue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on
the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge
O Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
O Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the
camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth
C) Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecyde or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully
and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 86° F (30 ° C). If you do
not use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once
a year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the
same time for all battery packs.
O Although the battery pack's operating temperature range isfrom 32 ° Fto 104_F
(0°Cto 40°C), the optimal range is from 50° Fto 86° F (10_ Cto 30_C) At cold
temperatures, performance will temporarily decline Warm it in your pocket before
use.
O Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially
at normal temperatures.
