The temperature range for charging is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).  
However, to provide maximum battery efficiency, the recommended  
temperature range when charging is 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).  
Remove the battery pack when required. It can be used even if the  
charging is not completed.  
• The time display shows the approximate time when charging at 10°C -  
30°C. The time display may differ from the actual charging time  
depending on using conditions and circumstances.  
• The time display may show “– – – –” in the following cases. However, the  
unit is not malfunctioning.  
– The remaining battery time is less than 5 minutes.  
– There is a difference between the displayed time and actual charging  
time. Even if this happens, continue charging.  
• Full charge requires about 1 hour after normal charge is completed. If you  
remove the battery pack between normal charge and full charge, the  
charging time may not be displayed properly in the next charging.  
• If the charging time is not displayed properly, fully charge the battery  
pack. The charging time will be displayed properly.  
• When you attach a fully charged battery pack to this unit, “TIME TO CHG  
FULL 1h” may appear on the display. However, the unit is not  
malfunctioning.  
• The remaining battery time may not be displayed depending on using  
conditions and circumstances of your video camera recorder and of the  
battery. See “About the remaining time” for more details.  
• You may wait for a while after pressing DISPLAY CHANGE until the  
display shows the time indication.  
• To display the remaining battery time of a new battery, attach it to your  
video camera recorder and use it for about 20 seconds. Then, charge the  
battery with this unit.
