cautions:  
To.avoid.hazards  
•.  
....do.not burn.  
LCD.Monitor  
....do.not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away  
from metallic objects when not in use. When  
transporting, make sure the provided battery  
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery  
cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic  
bag.  
To.prevent.damage.to.the.LCD.monitor,.DO.  
•.  
NOT  
... push it strongly or apply any shocks.  
... place the camcorder with LCD monitor on the  
bottom.  
....do.not modify or disassemble.  
... do.not expose the battery to temperatures  
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery  
to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
... use only specified chargers.  
To.prolong.service.life

•.  
To.prevent.damage.and.prolong.service.life  
•.  
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C  
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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.  
... fully charge and then fully discharge the  
battery every 6 months when storing the  
battery pack over a long period time.  
... remove from charger or powered unit when  
not in use, as some machines use current  
even when switched off.
