°C (140 °
F).
Do not leave it near a
heater
or
inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try
to
disassemble
or
modify it.
• Do not drop it
or
subject it
to
shocks.
• Do not
get
it wet.
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery
pack
and the camcorder. Wipe the
terminals with a soft cloth.
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.
Remaining
battery
ti
me
When you are using a battery
pack
that is compatible with Intelligent System, if the remaining battery
time displayed is not correct, charge the battery
pack
fully.
Still, the correct time may
not
be
displayed
after a large number
of
repeated uses, if a fully charged battery
pack
is left unused,
or
if a battery
pack
is used for long periods
of
time in high temperatures. Use the time shown on the screen as an
approximation.
Regarding
the
use
of
non

packs
• For your safety, battery packs that are
not
genuine Canon battery packs will not be charged even if
you attach them
to
this camcorder
or
to
the
optional
CG-800
Battery Charger.
• We recommend using genuine Canon battery packs bearing the 9 Intelligent
Li-ion
Battery
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.
SD
Card
• We recommend backing up the recordings on the SD card onto your computer. Data may be
corrupted
or
l
ost
due
to
card 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 SD cards
in
places subject
to
strong magnetic fields.
• Do
not
leave SD cards in places subject
to
high humidity and high temperature.
• Do
not
disassemble, bend, drop,
or
subject SD cards
to
shocks and
do
not expose them
to
water.
• Check the direction before inserting the SD card. Forcing an SD card into a slot if it is not correctly
oriented may damage the card
or
the camcorder.
• Do
not
attach any labels
or
stickers on the SD card.
