Operating time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures like aski ground. For better operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket orsomeplace and then used.• If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at normaltemperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.Note:• These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after attaching a fully-charged battery pack.
