•Attach the battery pack to the video equipment
securely. Also refer to the operating instructions
of the video equipment.
•The Battery pack NP-CF540 may not be installed
depending on the video equipment.
To obtain a longer battery life
•A charged battery pack is gradually discharged
even if it is not used. Charge it a couple of days
before using.
•When you are not taking video, turn off the
power switch of the video camera recorder. The
battery is consumed in the standby mode or
pause mode.
•Store the battery pack in a cool place and charge
it under temperature ranging from 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F) so that a longer battery life is
obtained.
•As the battery efficiency is decreased under 10°C
(50°F), the battery life becomes shorter in a cold
place. To obtain a longer battery life, we
recommend that :
– you keep the battery pack warm by putting in a
pocket, and attach the battery pack to the
camcorder just before taking video.
Prepare spare battery packs not to miss a
recording opportunity.
You do not have to discharge the battery pack
before recharging. Charging while some
capacity remains does not affect the original
battery capacity.
About a life of the battery pack
When the battery pack is discharged extremely
quick, it may be completely died. Use another
battery pack.
Do not connect the battery pack with a
commercially available electronic transformer,
otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
