Charging, Recording Times based on Battery Type
???If you close the LCD Screen, it switches off and the View???nder switches on automatically.
???The continuous recording times given in the table below are approximations. Actual recording time depends on usage.
???The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 ??F (25 ??C).
???Even when the power is switched off, the Battery Pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the device.
The amount of continuous recording time available depends on;
-The type and capacity of the Battery Pack you are using.
-Ambient temperature.
-How often the Zoom function is used.
-Type of use (DVD Camcorder/Camera/With LCD Screen etc.).
It is recommended that you have several batteries available.

Battery Level Display
The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the Battery Pack. a. Fully charged
b. 20~40% used c. 40~80% used
d. 80~95% used (red)
e. Completely used (Blinking)
(The DVD Camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible.)
The Finalise/Format functions are not available at battery level ???d??? and ???e???.
???At battery level ???e???
The battery becomes low in capacity and the <
> indicator blinks on the display. The screen will turn blue when the battery is almost completely discharged.
Battery Pack Management
???The Battery Pack should be recharged in an environment between 32 ??F (0 ??C) and 104 ??F (40 ??C).
???The Battery Pack should never be charged in a room with a temperature that is below 32 ??F (0 ??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. ???re 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

ENGLISH
Preparation
Maintaining the Battery Pack
???Please refer to the Table on page 22 for approximate continuous recording time.
???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 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 replacing the battery pack, only use the same type as is supplied with this camcorder and 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 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 DVD Camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
???If your DVD Camcorder is in Camera Mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a disc inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
???Make sure that the Battery Pack is ???tted ???rmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it.

???What is Dew Condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a DVD Camcorder is moved to a place where there is a signi???cant temperature difference from the previous place. In other words, the water vapor in the air turns into dew because of the temperature difference, and it condensates like dew on the external or internal lenses of the DVD Camcorder and on the re???ection 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, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the DVD Camcorder when using the device with the power on while there is dew condensation.
???What can I do?
Turn the power off and detach the battery pack, and leave it in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.

The mains lead on the power adapter is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse.
The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable.
If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the ???tted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared ???exible cord.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured marqueings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marqueed with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marqueed with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
