BATT ALARM

To display the remaining battery power accurately, set the VCR Setup Menu item No. 396 BATTERY TYPE according to the type of the battery pack in use.

See page 75.

The status of the remaining battery power can be checked by the remaining battery power indication.

See page 24.

When the remaining battery power is nearly exhausted, the following warning messages will appear. In this case, replace with a fully charged battery as soon as possible.

Remaining battery power indication:

Segment bar and "BATT" indicator start to blink

WARNING indicator and TALLY lamp blink

Viewfinder:

BATT lamp lights.

TALL lamp blinks.

During status 1 mode, the voltage display flashes.

Alarm sound beeps

After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the GY-DV550 automatically stops operation if the battery power operation is continued.

Operating Time with Battery Pack

When the VF-P115B is used as the viewfinder and a fully charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous operating time is as follows:

Battery Pack

Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C)

 

 

NP-1B

60 minutes

 

 

Magnum 14

130 minutes

 

 

NP-L40

80 minutes

 

 

Battery operating time may differ depending on the number of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for approximate reference times.

Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.

Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used frequently.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK

When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a cool, dry place.

Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car, etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service life.

When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened.

If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

Recharging

Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity.

If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity.

If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely.
