The life and capacity of the Battery pack will be reduced if it is  
used in temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) or left in temperatures  
above 104 °F (40 °C)for a long period of time, even when it is fully  
recharged.

Please refer to the Table on page 22 for approximate continuous  
recording time.  
The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental  
conditions.  
The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment.  
The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are  
measured using a fully charged Battery pack at 77 °F (25 °C).  
As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.  
The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate  
continuous recording times given in the instructions.
