Use the Battery to Power Your Camcorder

The battery must be charged as described on the next page before it can be used the

first time. Initial charging takes approximately 70 minutes for the FB 1260 (100

minutes for the BB700). When fully charged, the FB 1260 supplies approximately

50-55 minutes (BB700 approximately 75-85 minutes) of operating time - depending

on how much you use the light, zoom, and pause. Conserve battery power by turning

the camcorder off during recording breaks.

Note: Use the small marker switch on the top of the battery to help remind yourself to charge

the battery. It has no other purpose.
