and tile point where they exit from the unit.

19. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

CAMCORDER, be sure tile antenna or cable system is grounded to

provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

No. 70-1984, provides informationwith respect to proper grounding

of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire

and supporting structure, grounding of the mast and supporting

Battery Pack Management

[] The Battery Pack should be recharged in an environment between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40°C).

[] 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.

[] Do not put the Battery Pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).

[] Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the Battery Pack.

[] Do not allow the + and - terminals of the Battery Pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation,

induce overheating or fire.

Notes regarding the Battery Pack

[] Please refer to the table on page 16 for approximate continuous recording time.

[] The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

[] The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.

[] The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F

(25 °C). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the

instructions.

[] When purchasing a new battery pack, we recommend buying the same Battery Pack that is provided with this

camcorder. The Battery pack is available at SAMSUNG retailers.

[] When the Battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.

The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

[] Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to record.

[] A brand new Battery Pack is not charged. Before using the Battery Pack, you need to charge it completely.

[] Fully discharging a Lithium Ion Battery damages the internal cells.

The Battery Pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.

[] To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

[] If your Camcorder is in <Camera> mode, and it is left in <STBY> mode without being operated for more than 5

minutes with a tape inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

[] Make sure that the Battery Pack is fitted firmly into place.

Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.
