GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

AND MAXIMUM LIFE

1.Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of NiMH batteries:

a.Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance.

b.On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or out in direct sunlight unnecessarily.

c.Storage - If batteries are not going to be used for several months, they should be fully discharged, sealed in a plastic bag and stored in a refrigerator.

2.Use only Anton/Bauer Logic Series InterActive LifeSaver Chargers and keep batteries on the charger until just prior to being used.

3.Return batteries to the Logic Series InterActive Charger as soon as possible after use, preferably within 24 hours.

4.Do not over-discharge batteries - It is quite proper to discharge a battery until a low voltage warning in the camera or VTR is observed. However, a switch to a fresh battery should occur as soon as possible following such indication.

a.A HyTRON battery should be changed as soon as possible after a "flashing ‘RES’ segment" is indicated. Never continue to use a HyTRON battery after the “EOD” segment has appeared.

b.Never leave a battery operated device unattended while it is running.

c.DO NOT LEAVE A BATTERY ATTACHED TO A CAMERA/CAMCORDER during transit or storage. “Keep warm” circuitry in the camera can overdischarge the battery.
