REFRESH button
This VIEWCAM uses a Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) or Ni-MH
(nickel-metal hydride) type battery which requires
“refreshing” from time to time; otherwise the operating
time of the battery pack may be shortened. Please refresh
your battery pack(s) once for every ten rechargings.
How to Refresh the Battery Pack
Refreshing should be performed when the battery is
almost depleted.

* Time required to refresh a depleted battery pack.
l The use of the zoom and other functions and
outdoor recording (see page 17) increases the
power consumption, so that the actual
recording time per Battery Pack may actually
be 30%-50% less than the max. continuous
recording time listed above.
l The battery pack and charger become warm
during charging. This is not a malfunction.
l The charging time and recording time
depend on the ambient temperature and the
condition of the battery pack.
l Do not refresh a fully-charged battery pack.
-
l Charge only SHARP model BT-Nl, BT-N11 or
BT-H11 battery packs. Other types of battery packs
may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
l If the power source becomes disconnected during
recording, playback, or other operations, the tape
will remain wrapped around the drum, causing
possible damage to the tape. Reconnect the power
source to the main unit immediately.
l We recommend that you use the battery pack until
its charge is fully drained and the VIEWCAM is
inoperable before recharging the pack.
