Using the AC Battery Charger/
Adapter
Keep the following battery considerations in mind as you use the camera back.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to remove the battery; it is not a cus- tomer serviceable part.
The DCS 465 Camera Back incorporates a single, rechargeable nickel hydride battery that powers the camera back.
In typical shooting situations, a
You can operate the camera back while connected to the supplied AC battery charger/adapter, or you can recharge the battery with the adapter and then use the camera back in the field without the adapter.
The adapter will run the camera back continuously while it is charg- ing the battery.
If you are using the camera back in an environment in which a power outlet is available, we recommend that you operate the camera back while connected to the AC battery charger/adapter as described below.
Refer to chapter 9 for information on the effect of temperature ex- tremes on battery operation.
Charging the Battery
You should charge the battery for at least one hour before using the camera back for the first time, and thereafter on a regular basis as needed. Charging the battery for at least one hour will ensure that you begin shooting with a fully charged battery, and that you obtain the most images per charge.
