[. . . ] · Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place. · When storing a fully charged battery pack, put the cover on it so that the "CHARGE" mark printed on the label is seen through the window, as shown. Label Battery pack CHARGE Charging · Charge the battery pack immediately (or a day) before use. The battery pack gradually self-discharges even if stored in a fully charged state. · Charge the battery pack between 10°C and 30°C. Use of an insufficiently charged battery pack will shorten actual time of use. · Refresh (discharging before charging) is unnecessary. Window Cover Use · To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off the camcorder power when not in use. · Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use. Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming, and recording in low temperatures will shorten actual recording times. · Use of a weak battery pack may cause loss of power while operating the camcorder. Use a fully charged battery pack to protect both the battery pack and the unit. · It is recommended that you have enough battery packs on hand to handle two or three times your estimated recording time. See page 20 for the approximate times of actual recording for the battery packs. Battery power is consumed even when the camcorder power is turned off. If you are not going to use your camcorder immediately, remove the battery pack (see page 9). Note: · Use only SHARP BT-L225 or BT-L445 battery packs. These are designed specifically for use with this camcorder. When storing a battery pack that is not fully charged, put the cover upside down so that only the battery pack casing can be seen through the window. Cautions: · Improper handling of the battery pack may present a risk of fire or explosion. Pay close attention to the following: -- Do not allow metallic objects to come in contact with the terminals. -- Do not disassemble or repair the battery pack by yourself. -- Do not use any battery charging equipment other than that designed for use with these battery packs. -- Do not place the battery pack under direct sunlight or in excessively hot places (over 60°C) such as the dashboard of cars. -- Do not expose the battery pack to moisture or water. -- Do not drop the battery pack or subject it to strong force. -- Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
