Anton/Bauer 90 owner manual Operating Guidelines

OPERATING GUIDELINES

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

a.Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms for best performance.

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

c.Although lithium ion has good self-discharge characteristics, long term storage in a fully charged condition will result in irreversible capacity loss. This is a problem for all lithium ion batteries – from cell phones to video cameras. Use the battery; do not store it for extended periods.

d.Batteries should always be stored in a partially charged state and kept cool. If batteries must be stored for a long period (over six months), they should be periodically removed from storage and submitted to a discharge/charge cycle.

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

3.DO NOT LEAVE A BATTERY ATTACHED TO A CAMERA/CAMCORDER during transit or storage. “Keep warm” circuitry in the camera can drain the battery, because the DIONIC 90 battery has specialized circuits which will not allow a battery to over discharge, the battery will protect itself and shut down.
