Operation
1.When you receive your Digital Camera Battery it can be used right out of the box. Each Digital Camera Battery is fully tested at the factory. Each unit is completely charged and then discharged through each connector. Units are charged before they are packaged. However, if the unit has been exposed to extreme heat or has been on the shelf for some time, charging will be required. If this is the case, plug the charger into the Digital Camera Battery and charge according to the specifications on the back of this manual. Charging is complete when the unit is warm to the touch. Always remove the Digital Camera Battery from it’s case and place in open air when charging to prevent overheating. Always unplug the charger from the AC outlet when not in use.
2.After connecting the shoulder strap, mounting brackets, or belt clip, connect the cables to be used. Power the Digital Camera Battery to the on position. When the GREEN L.E.D. comes on you may turn on the equipment attached. Power is not available for a moment when the Digital Camera Battery is first turned on. This allows the computer to perform a power up test and prevents overheating should serious physical damage occur to the Digital Camera Battery.
3.When the YELLOW L.E.D. comes on it is recommended that the pack be recharged at this time. Digital camera cables will continue to operate if they are below 8.5 volts. Some high voltage
4.When the RED L.E.D. comes on, shut everything down, you have very little power remaining. If your equipment has internal batteries, just swap out the Digital Camera Battery or use the internal batteries as a backup. It is always a good idea to have a complete set of backup equipment.
5.When the RED L.E.D. Blinks, switch to another Digital Camera Battery. You can leave the discharged pack on. The Blinking RED L.E.D. will remind you to charge that pack at a later time. If the pack will not be charged within 8 hours, turn the unit off to prevent deep discharge.
6.Do not rely on the recycle time of the flash to determine charge level of the Digital Camera Battery as the power output is constant from start to finish. This consistent regulated power is one of the Digital Camera Battery’s features no other battery pack on the market can match.
7.Do not expose the Digital Camera Battery to physical forces in excess of 100 G’s. While we advise against dropping any equipment on the ground, accidents do happen, the padded carrying case will help reduce the chance of damage in the event you drop your Digital Camera Battery.
