Additional battery packs are available at your local Samsung dealer.
If the DVD camcorder will not be in use for a while, remove the battery

About battery packs
•
•
•
.
The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures
(below 0°C (32°F)), its usage time becomes reduced 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-insert it to the DVD camcorder.
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 battery pack terminals to be short-circuited.
It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce
overheating or fire.
Maintaining
the battery pack
• 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 user
manual are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 25°C (77°F). As the environmental
temperature
and
conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate
continuous
recording times given in
the instructions.
• We recommend
only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery
reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be treated as chemical waste.
• Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
• When fully discharged,
a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage
when fully discharged.
• Remove the battery from the camcorder
when it is not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery
pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the DVD camcorder.
- For power saving purposes, the DVD camcorder enters the sleep mode automatically
if no operation is performed
for 3 minutes in the STBY mode and thumbnail index view. If no operation is made for 3 more minutes while the
unit is sleep mode, the camcorder turns off automatically.
However, if any operation is made, the DVD camcorder
comes out of sleep mode, This function works only if "Auto Power Off" is set to "6 Min."_page
80
o Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Do not drop the batter,i pack as it may cause damage.
About the battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.
If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace

recording time (without zoom)
The times shown in the table reflect the available recording time when the DVD camcorder is in the recording mode
without using any other functions. In actual recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this
reference since the record start/stop and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the
recordable time with a fully charged battery pack is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so prepare enough
battery packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD camcorder.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in a cold environment.

Using the DVD camcorder
with the AC power adaptor
It is recommended
that you use the AC power adaptor to power the DVD camcorder from a household
when you perform settings on it, finalize a disc, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. _,page 18
I_o
Be sure to use the provided AC power adaptor to power the DVD camcorder. Using other AC power
adaptors could cause electric shock or result in fire.
The AC power adaptor can be used around the world. An AC plug adaptor is required in some foreign
countries. If you need one, purchase it at your local Samsung dealer.
Before detaching the power source, make sure that the DVD camcorder's
Failure to do so can result in DVD camcorder malfunction.

Note on use
• Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
• We recommend
using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
o After a period of use, the memory card may become warm, This is normal and is not a malfunction.
o Photo image files recorded on a memory card by your DVD camcorder
conform to the "DCF (Design rule for
Camera File system)" universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
- DCF is an integrated image-file format for digital cameras: image files can be used on all digital devices conforming
to DCR
The DVD camcorder
supports
SD and MMC memory cards for data storage.
The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer
and production
system.
SLC (single-level cell) system: faster write speed is enabled.
MLC (multi-level cell) system: only lower write speed is supported.
For best results, we recommend
using a memory card that supports
faster write speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may cause difficulties with storing the movie on the
memory card. You may even lose your movie data during the recording.
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the DVD camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the
memory card and displays a warning: "Low speed card."

CAUTION
When there is dew condensation,
put the camcorder
aside for a while before using.
° What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation
happens when a DVD camcorder
is moved to a place where there is a significant
temperature
difference from the previous place. The dew condenses
on the external or internal lenses of the
DVD camcorder
and on the reflection lens and the surface of the disc which are related to playback. When
this happens, you temporarily may not use the record or play functions of the DVD camcorder. Also, using
the camcorder while there is condensation
may cause malfunction
or damage.
• What can l do?
Turn the power off and detach the battery pack, and leave it in a dry area for 1-2 hours before using it.
o When does the dew condensation
occur?
When the device is relocated to a place with a higher temperature
than the previous location, or when using
it in a hot area suddenly, it will cause condensation.
When recording outside in cold weather during the winter and then using it in indoors.
When recording outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the AC was running.
Note before sending your camcorder
for repair.
- If these instructions
do not solve your problem, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center.
e Depending on the problem, the internal memory may need to be initialised or replaced and the data wit! be
deleted.
Be sure to back up the data on your PC before sending your camcorder
to repair.
Samsung cannot guarantee any loss of your data.
