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. Battery Type Charging time Mode LCD ON Viewfinder LCD ON Viewfinder LCD ON Viewfinder XP SP LP SB-LSM80 (AD43-00136A) Approx.1hr 20min Continuous recording time Approx. 55min Approx. 1hr Approx. 1hr 5min Playback time Approx. 1hr 10min Approx. 1hr 15min Approx. 1hr 20min Mode XP SP LP SB-LSM160 (Option) Approx. 3hr Continuous recording time Approx. 1hr 45min Approx. 1hr 55min Approx. 2hr 5min Playback time Approx. 2hr 15min Approx. 2hr 25min Approx. 2hr 35min Preparation Measured figures shown above are based on model SC-DC163. 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. 22 ENGLISH Preparation 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 e. Completely used (Blinking) (The DVD Camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible.) The Finalize/Format functions are not available at battery level `d' and `e' At battery level `d' Each time you select Finalize/Format from menu, the message of will be displayed for 5 seconds. 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. fire 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 short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or fire. 23 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. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary. 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. We recommend only using the original Lithium Ion Battery Pack that 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 fitted firmly into place. Do not drop the Battery Pack. Dropping the Battery Pack may damage it. 24 ENGLISH Preparation Connecting a Power Source There are two types of power source that can be connected to your DVD Camcorder. - The AC Power adapter and AC Cord: used for indoor recording. - The Battery Pack: used for outdoor recording. Using a Household Power Source Connect to a household power source to use the DVD Camcorder without worrying about the battery power. You can keep the Battery Pack attached; the battery power will not be consumed. 1. Connect the AC Power adapter (AA-E8 Type) to the AC Cord. 2. Connect the AC Cord to a wall socket. The plug and wall socket type may differ according to your resident country. 3. Open the LCD Screen and Jack Cover. 4. Connect the DC cable to the DC IN jack of the DVD Camcorder. 5.
