INSTALLING AND HANDLING
THE Ni-Cd BACKUP BATTERY
The Ni-Cd battery which is supplied with the camera is used as a backup power supply for the clock and the
hard disk.
The battery has not been charged. Before turning on the camera power, install the battery by referring to the
points below. If any problems with battery operation or leakages of battery fluid occur, contact the place of
purchase.
Note:
•
Once the camera’s power has been turned on
and left on for 24 hours, the battery will be
charged sufficiently to provide 30 days of
backup operation.
•
If the battery is used continuously for long
periods, leakage of battery fluid may occur. The
interior of the battery compartment is lined with
absorbent material to absorb any fluid which
should happen to leak from the battery, so if
replacing the battery after a leak has occurred,
be sure to replace this absorbent material also.
•
Always be sure to use the accessory AC
adapter. If you use some other
commercially-available AC adapter, detection of
problems with the backup battery will not be
possible, and damage to the hard disk may
result.
•
If the camera power supply is turned off or a
power outage occurs after the battery has only
been charging for a short time, it may cause the
clock setting to be re-initialized. If this happens,
the camera will not operate.
•
Never open the rear cover while power is being
supplied to the camera. Always be sure to set
the hard disk to the standby condition before
opening the rear cover. (See page 18)
(Warning displays)
•
When the camera power is turned on after the
battery has been replaced, “LOW BATT” will
appear on the monitor screen, and charging of
the battery will start automatically.
•
Approximately 1 hour of charging time is
needed before the “LOW BATT” display
disappears from the monitor screen. If the
“LOW BATT” display does not disappear after
one hour or more has passed, it may indicate a
problem with the battery.
•
If “LOW BATT” appears on the monitor screen
while the camera is in use, the warning
indicator will flash and recording of images will
be halted. This may also indicate a problem with
the battery, so replace the battery at such times.
•
If the battery has not been installed, or if the
battery terminal contacts are not complete,
“NO BATT” will appear on the monitor display.
If this happens, check the battery once more.
