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 NiCad 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 or freezer.

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

3.Return batteries to the Logic Series 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 DIGITAL battery should be changed as soon as possible after a "Flashing 15 minute segment" is indicated. Never continue to use a DIGITAL battery after the “Flashing 15 minute segmenthas appeared.

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