Built-in rechargeable battery
• Your camcorder includes a built-in rechargeable battery that retains the date and time
settings even after the power is turned off.
• Once the battery is depleted, the previous date/time values are all reset to defaults, and
you need to recharge the built-in rechargeable battery. The date/time must be set again.
• Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If you find the decreased
usage time between charges becomes significant, ask your local Samsung retailer.
Charging the built-in rechargeable battery
• The built-in battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC
power or while the battery pack is attached.
• If the camcorder is not in use for about 2 weeks without connecting to the AC power or
attaching the battery pack, the built-in battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the
built-in battery by connecting to the supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.
