3. To remove the battery case, remove the four screws B fixing the battery case and the connector connecting the battery case to this unit.

*Following connection of the connectors, insert them into the connector compartment and secure with the clamp.

5.Secure the battery holder to the GY-DV500 with the four mount screws provided with the battery holder.

*Take care not to pinch the wires. This could result in damage.

When the VF-P115B is used as the viewfinder and a fully charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous operating time is as follows:

Battery Pack

Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C)

NP-1B

60 minutes

 

 

Magnum 14

130 minutes

 

 

NP-L40

80 minutes

 

 

Battery operating time may differ depending on the number of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for approximate reference times.

Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.

Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used frequently.

Attaching the Battery Pack

1. Align the 3 guide pins of the battery pack with the guide holes on the battery holder, and push straight to insert the battery pack.

The battery cannot be attached properly if the guide pins are not inserted straight.

2. Slide the battery pack toward the side panel where the cassette cover is located until it clicks. Now the battery pack has been attached.

Detaching the Battery Pack

While pushing and holding the release lever, slide the battery pack toward the side panel where the LCD display is located, then pull the battery pack outward to remove.

Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be

subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,

etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service

life.

When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the

operating time will be shortened.

If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even

immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery

pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity.

If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity.

If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely.
