Before the battery can be used it must charge until the battery status LED indicates the unit is fully charged (green).

•The Charge LED on the top of the FS­100 lights to show the battery is charging.

•An uncharged battery takes 2­3 hours to charge with the unit powered off.

•The battery provided with the FS­100 can supply power to the unit for about 90 minutes while in continuous Record or Playback mode.

•An optional high capacity battery (BATT­0009­01) capable of providing power for almost three hours of continuous recording is available from Focus Enhancements.

Using FireWire to Charge FS­100

It is possible to charge the FS­100 battery through the 1394 port on a computer provided that the computer outputs at least 15V through the port. To determine if this is possible, consult the computer’s specifications.

Battery Use

Misuse can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, buttons, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
