Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack is a
nickel-cadmium battery. Before using
the supplied battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be sure to read
the following cautions:
1. To avoid hazard . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals.
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service
life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully
discharging.
.... charge in an environment where
temperatures are within the tolerances shown
in the chart below. This is a chemical
reaction type battery—cooler temperatures
impede chemical reaction, while warmer
temperatures can prevent complete charging.
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current
even when switched off.
3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .
.... replace the battery pack when it begins to
deliver less recording time per charge.
NOTE:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.

General Battery Precautions
• When the RM-V20U (remote control), C-P6U or
C-P7U (cassette adapter) are not functioning even
when correctly operated, the batteries are
exhausted. Replace them with fresh ones.
• Use only the following batteries:
RM-V20U ................................. AAA (R03) size
C-P6U or C-P7U ....................... AA (R6) size
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, batteries can leak or explode.
1. Refer to the RM-V20U and C-P6U/C-P7U
instructions when replacing batteries.
2. Do not use old and new batteries together.
3. Do not use two different kinds of batteries.
Although sizes may be the same, voltages may
differ.
4. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat as they
can leak or explode.
5. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
6. Remove batteries from the unit if it is to be stored
for an extended period to avoid battery leakage
which can cause malfunctions.
