About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire
or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come
in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and
possibly start a fire.

temperatures.
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power
capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures
(below 10!C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease
to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your
pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself
is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If youOre using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does
not come in direct contact with it.)
