Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium Battery
To store the date/time in memory, the clock’s rechargeable
lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the
camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC
Power Adapter/Charger, or while the battery pack attached
to the camcorder continues to supply power, the clock’s
rechargeable lithium battery is always charged. However,
if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the
clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and the
date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs,
first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC
Power Adapter/Charger for over 24 hours to charge the
clock’s rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the
date/time setting before using the camcorder.
Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the
date/time.
NOTE:
Even if you select “DATE/TIME”, if the parameter is not
highlighted the camcorder’s internal clock continues to
operate. Once you select the first date/time parameter
(day), the clock stops. When you finish setting the minute
and press MENU/BRIGHT, the date and time begin
operation from the date and time you just set.
