Using the DCS 465 Camera Back 6-3
3. Select either step A or B below depending on the environment in
which you will use the camera back.
A.
Indoors.
Connect the camera back to the AC battery charger/
adapter as described in chapters 4 (Macintosh) or 5 (PC); leave it
connected while you operate your camera. The camera back will
be ready for operation almost immediately. However, if you are
beginning with a dead battery (you notice unusual random
characters on the camera back LCD), follow special charging
instructions in chapters 4 (Macintosh) or 5 (PC).
NOTE: The AC adapter supplies enough power to support operation of
the camera back as well as to continue charging the camera back
battery. Once the battery is fully charged, the AC adapter automatically
switches to a slow trickle charge.
B.
In the field without the AC battery charger/adapter.
Before you go
into the field, you should charge the battery fully as described in
chapters 4 (Macintosh) or 5 (PC). Charging the battery for one
hour will ensure the most images per charge.
4. Wake the camera back if needed by following the instructions in this
step.
If the camera back is connected to the AC battery charger/adapter
and/or to your computer which is on, the camera back is awake.
However, if it is not connected to either device, you must wake it.
Wake it by following either step A or B below depending on the type
of camera you have.
