Fostex PD606 Power supply priority setting Power priority, DC-IN and Batt the default is DC-IN

Chapter 8: MENU mode/BATTERY SETUP menu

Power supply priority setting [Power priority]

Using the "Power priority" item, you can set the power supply priority when you use both a battery and the [DC IN] connector.

For example, if you set the prior power supply to "DC-IN", the battery can be backup power and is used only when the "DC-IN" jack is cut off (power failure, disconnection, etc).

See "Battery setting examples" on pages 176 and 177 for the examples of power supply priority setting.

Available options

"DC-IN" and "BATT" (the default is "DC-IN".)

<Note>: If only either of the [DC-IN] or battery power is available, the available power is active regardless of the "Power priority" setting.

<Note>: When you set "Power priority" to "DC-IN", the battery automatically be- comes active when the voltage of the power from the "DC-IN" connector drops down to the threshold voltage for warning or when the power cord to the "DC-IN" connec- tor is disconnected.

<Note>: When you set "Power priority" to "BATT" and batteries are mounted to both the BATT1 and BATT2 mounts, if the battery power voltage of the prior battery drops down to the threshold voltage for warning, the other battery automatically becomes active. When a battery is mounted to either of the battery mounts, if the battery power voltage of the priory battery drops down to the threshold voltage for warning, the "DC-IN" power becomes active. When you set "Power priority" to "BATT", if the battery power drops down and the power source changes from the battery to the "DC-IN", the battery recovers temporarily, however, the power source do not return to the battery. Note that if you replace the battery to the fully charged one, the power source automatically switches back to the battery.
