Window Cover Use · To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off the camcorder power when not in use. · Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use. Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming, and recording in low temperatures will shorten actual recording times. · Use of a weak battery pack may cause loss of power while operating the camcorder. Use a fully charged battery pack to protect both the battery pack and the unit. · It is recommended that you have enough battery packs on hand to handle two or three times your estimated recording time. See page 20 for the approximate times of actual recording for the battery packs. Battery power is consumed even when the camcorder power is turned off. If you are not going to use your camcorder immediately, remove the battery pack (see page 9). Note: · Use only SHARP BT-L225 or BT-L445 battery packs. These are designed specifically for use with this camcorder. When storing a battery pack that is not fully charged, put the cover upside down so that only the battery pack casing can be seen through the window.
