Cautions:
• Improper handling of the battery pack may
present a risk of fire or explosion. Pay close
attention to the following:
—Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire.
—Do not allow metallic objects to come in
contact with the terminals. This can cause a
short circuit.
—Do not disassemble or repair the battery pack
by yourself.
—Do not use any battery charging equipment
other than that designed for use with these
battery packs.
—Do not place the battery pack under direct
sunlight or in excessively hot places (over
60°C) such as the dashboard of cars.
—Do not expose the battery pack to moisture or
water.
—Do not drop the battery pack or subject it to
strong force.
—Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
—Dispose of used battery packs promptly.
• To protect the terminals, put the cover on the
battery pack when it is not being used.
Notes:
• The battery pack will become warm during
charging and use. This is not a malfunction.
• The battery pack has a limited service life. If the
period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a
normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of
its service life. Replace it with a new battery
pack.

Battery Pack
This VIEWCAM uses a lithium-ion type
battery pack.
• The lithium-ion type battery pack gradually
self-discharges even if stored in a fully
charged state.
—Charge the battery pack soon (a day)
before use.
• The lithium-ion type battery pack does not
need to be stored in a fully discharged state.
Charging
Charge the battery pack at a temperature of
10°C to 30°C.
Use
• To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off
the VIEWCAM power when not in use.
• Recording with many starts and stops,
frequent zooming, and recording in low
temperatures will shorten actual recording
times.
• Do not use an insufficiently charged or weak
battery pack. Use of such battery packs may
cause the power to automatically stop during
VIEWCAM operation to protect both the
battery pack and the unit.
• Use of additional battery packs is
recommended to prevent undesirable
interruptions in your recording.
Battery power is consumed even when the
VIEWCAM power is turned off. If you are not
going to use your VIEWCAM immediately,
remove the battery pack (see page 8).
Note:
• Use only SHARP BT-L241 or BT-L441 battery
packs. These are designed specifically for use
with this VIEWCAM.
Storage
• Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place.
• When storing a fully charged battery pack,
put the cover on it so that the “CHARGE”
mark printed on the label is seen through the
window, as shown.
• When storing a battery pack that is not fully
charged, put the cover upside down so that
only the battery pack casing is seen through
the window.
