@ When the battery pack is used for the first time, the
operating time will be slightly shorter than normal.
It should be used until completely discharged and
recharged two or three times before the complete
charge is available.
@ Charging the battery pack is possible within a
temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
For best results, a temperature range of 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F) is recommended.
@ if the camcorder is not used for a long period,
remove the battery pack. If not, the battery pack will
slowly loose its charge.
@ Do not store a battery pack where it could reach
high temperatures.
@ Battery packs last shorter when used in low
temperatures.

malfunction.
@ If the terminals are dirty, use a soft cloth or tissue
paper to clean them.
@ The battery pack operating temperature range is
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), the operating time will
shorten as its temperature lowers.
