Using Battery Packs
Always fully charge a battery pack before using it.
Notes
• Be careful that other metal objects do not come in
contact with the metal parts of the battery pack, as
this could cause a short.
• Do not leave the battery pack in the camera if it is not
going to be used for a long time.
• If the battery pack is recharged after use while still
hot, it may not be possible to obtain a full charge.

Battery low indications

viewfinder flashes when operating with the DSR-1/1P
or PVV-3/3P.
If you continue using the camera head, the BATT
