Battery Pack Consumption

• Recording with many starts and stops, frequent

zooming, and recording in low temperatures will

somewhat shorten actual recording time.

Accordingly, be sure to turn off the power when not

recording. Use of an auxiliary battery pack is

recommended to prevent undesirable interruptions

in your recording.

• Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak

battery pack. Such battery packs may cause the

power to automatically stop during Camcorder

operation to protect both the battery pack and the

unit.

Battery power is consumed even when the

Camcorder’s power is turned off. If the Camcorder

will not be used, remove the battery pack. (See

page 7.)

Note

Use only the RCA BB45 or BB50 battery

packs. They are designed specifically for use with this

Camcorder.

Battery Pack Life

The battery pack has a limited service life. If the

period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a

normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of its

service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.

Extending Battery Pack Life

This Camcorder uses a Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type

or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type battery pack.

• We recommend that you use the battery pack until

its charge is fully drained and the Camcorder is

inoperable before recharging the pack.

• Recharge the battery pack right before recording.

A battery pack stored for an extended time will

naturally wear down, resulting in decreased

recording time.

• Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery pack

before it has been discharged, as this will cause

deterioration of the battery’s capacity.

• Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.

How to Use the Battery Pack Cover

• After the battery pack is charged, put the cover on

it so that the “CHARGE” mark printed on the label

is seen through the window, as shown.

• Before the battery pack is charged, put the cover

upside down so that only the battery pack casing is

seen through the window.

Temperature During Charging

• The Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) type BB45 battery

pack can be charged at temperatures of 0°C to

40°C (32°F to 104°F). To utilize the battery’s full

capacity, it is recommended that charging take

place at temperatures of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to

95°F).

• The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BB50

battery pack can be charged at temperatures of

10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

Caution

For safety, keep the battery pack in its

protective cover when it is not being used. If the

metal parts of the battery pack come in contact with

other metal items, there is a danger that a short

circuit may occur.
