16 Getting Started
Loading the battery
Handling of the battery
❖Never attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing
it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus
(e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery to explode
and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause
serious injury.
❖Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery.
The battery could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the caustic
alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances could cause
fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
❖Never short-circuit the battery by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with
another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or a
fire, and could also damage the battery and product. Always
wrap the battery in plastic (or place it in a plastic bag) whenever
transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to another
conductive object which could result in serious injury. Always
cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when disposing of
the battery, to prevent accidental short-circuiting which could
result in serious injury.
❖Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery, hit
battery with a hammer or other object or step on it. Doing so
could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious
injury.
❖Never charge the battery by a method other than as instructed.
Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in
serious injury.
❖Never connect the battery to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug
socket. The battery could rupture or ignite causing a fire or
explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
❖Never allow a battery to become wet. A wet battery will overheat
or ignite causing rupture or fire, possibly resulting in death or
serious injury.
❖Never store a battery in an area of high humidity. This could
cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.

17
Getting Started
Loading the battery
❖Never expose a battery to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure.
Never use a battery which has been exposed to abnormal shock
even if the appearance is normal. The battery’s internal protective
device could fail, causing it to overheat or ignite resulting in
caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
❖Never subject a battery to heat, and never store it or use it near a
heat source. The battery could ignite or explode when heated or
burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. Subjecting
a battery to heat could also cause caustic liquid to leak. It can
also cause failure, malfunction, or loss of stored data.
Use of correct battery
❖Always use the battery supplied. Other batteries have different
voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming batteries
could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
Battery safety
❖Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery to
contact your eyes, body or clothing.
Use appropriate protective gloves when handling a damaged
battery.
If caustic electrolyte fluid from the battery should contact your
eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts of running
water and obtain prompt medical attention, to help prevent
permanent eye damage.
If electrolyte fluid should contact any part of your body,
immediately wash it off under running water to help prevent skin
rashes.
If electrolyte fluid should contact your clothes, promptly remove
them to help prevent the electrolyte fluid from contacting your
body, possibly resulting in serious injury.

18 Getting Started
Loading the battery
Battery warning indicators
❖Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power
cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the battery
if you observe any of the following conditions:
❖Offensive or unusual odor
❖Excessive heat
❖Discoloration
❖Deformation, cracks or leaks
❖Smoke
❖Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound
In such an event, carefully and immediately remove the battery
from the product. In some instances, you might have to wait for
the product to cool down before removing the battery, in order to
avoid any possible minor injury due to heat exposure. Do not
turn on the product’s power again until an authorized Toshiba
service provider has checked it for safety. Continued use could
cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or
product failure including but not limited to the loss of data.
Disposal of used batteries
❖Always dispose of used batteries in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid
a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so
could possibly result in serious injury.
❖Make sure the battery is securely installed in the product before
attempting to charge the battery.
❖Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the
battery to rupture.

19
Getting Started
Loading the battery
❖The battery is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not
replaced, used, handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the
battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only
batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
❖Charge the battery only in an ambient temperature between 41
and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (5 and 35 degrees Celsius).
Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery
performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be
shortened.
❖Never install or remove the battery without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor.
Inserting the battery
❖When installing a battery or before moving the product, always
make sure the battery is inserted correctly and securely. If the
battery falls out, while you are carrying the product, you could
be injured or the battery could be damaged.
Do not use an impaired or exhausted battery
❖Never continue to use a battery after its recharging capability has
become impaired, or after the warning message indicating that
the battery power is exhausted has been displayed.
Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery could result
in the loss of data or damage to the product.
Handling of the battery
❖Never attempt to install batteries in reverse polarity.

Inserting and removing an SD™ Card (optional)
An SD™ Card must be purchased separately.
Your camcorder comes with internal memory that allows you to
store photos and videos. You can expand the memory capacity by
using an optional SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card.
1Open the SD™ Card cover.
2Insert the SD™ Card into the slot until it locks into place, as
shown below.
(Sample Illustration) Inserting and removing an SD™ Card
When a memory card is inserted, videos and photos are saved to the
card rather than the built-in memory.
Protecting data on an SD™ Card
Photos or videos cannot be recorded on an SD™ Card when the
card is locked (read only), however photos and videos can be
viewed.
Make sure the lock is in the writeable position before recording
photos and videos as shown below.
