FOCUS Enhancements manual Charging the Battery, Using FireWire to Charge DR-HD100

Quickstart

Charging the Battery

The battery begins charging anytime it is connected to AC power using the AC adapter supplied with the DR-HD100. The charge LED lights when the DR-HD100 is charging. For information on the charge LED, refer to the subsection “Top Panel” on page 10.

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 DR-HD100 lights to show the battery is charging.

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

•The battery provided with the DR-HD100 can supply power to the unit for about 90 minutes while in continuous Record or Playback mode.

•An optional high capacity battery (BATT-0009-01) capable of providing power for almost three hours of continuous recording is available from Focus Enhancements.

Using FireWire to Charge DR-HD100

It is possible to charge the DR-HD100 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. Exercise care in handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Use of battery chargers not approved by Focus Enhancements could cause the battery to catch fire or explode.
