Taking care of the battery pack

Always attach the terminal cover.

• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals, as this can cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal cover whenever the battery pack is not being used.

Keep the terminals clean.

The camera, adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminals are dirty. Check them before use, and wipe them with a dry cloth or tissue if necessary.

Storing the battery pack

If you do not use a battery pack for a period of more than a few months any remaining charge may cause damage to the battery pack, and reduce usage time. To prevent damage therefore, aim to use a battery pack’s complete charge before storage.

Installing the backup battery

E

Pull out the battery holder from the base of the camera, and insert the CR2025 lithium battery with the + side facing upwards. Click the holder back into place.

This backup battery allows the camera to remember the date and time and other settings when the main power source is removed. It has a life span of about a year.

When it needs replacing (or if it has not been installed), the j mark flashes in the display. Remove the old battery by pulling out the battery holder from the base on the camera. Make sure you attach a power source to the camera first, and turn it off using the STANDBY button. This way it will remember your chosen settings when you change the battery.
