Handling Precautions
Long-term storage
• Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
• To extend the battery life of the battery pack, discharge it completely before storing it.
• Charge and discharge all your battery packs fully at least once a year.
Always attach the battery terminal cover.
Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals (figure 1), as this can cause
a short circuit and damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal cover whenever
the battery pack is not being used (figure 2).
The battery terminal cover has a [V]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish
to differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with
charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [V]-shaped hole
shows the colored label.
Remaining battery time
If the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the battery pack fully. Still, the correct time may not
be displayed if a fully charged battery pack is used continuously in high temperatures or it is left unused for long
periods of time. Also, the correct remaining time may not be displayed, depending on the battery life. Use the time
shown on the screen as an approximation.
Regarding the use of non-Canon battery packs
• We recommend using genuine Canon battery packs bearing the Intelligent System mark.
• If you attach to the camcorder battery packs that are not genuine Canon battery packs,
the remaining battery time will not be displayed.
Recording Media
• We recommend backing up the recordings on the recording media onto your computer. Data may be corrupted
or lost due to defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost or corrupted data.
• Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
• Do not use recording media in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
• Do not leave recording media in places subject to high humidity and high temperature.
• Do not disassemble, bend, drop, or subject recording media to shocks and do not expose them to water.
• Check the direction before inserting the recording media. Forcing recording media into the slot if it is not
correctly oriented may damage the recording media or the camcorder.
• Do not attach any labels or stickers on the recording media.
