Power Supply
The following power supplies can be used with the DSR-1/1P.
•BP-L40/L60A lithium-ion battery pack
•NP-1B Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L1 Battery Adaptor is required.)
•BP-90A Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L90 Battery Adaptor is required.)
•AC power (The AC-550/550CE, AC-DN1/DN2A or CMA-8A/8ACE AC
Adaptor is required.)
Alternatively, you can make combined use of internal and external
batteries, by mounting one of the above batteries as an internal battery and
connecting an external battery that can be a BP-90A contained in a DC-
210 Battery Adaptor and connected to the DC IN connector of the DSR-1/
1P.
Using a BP-L40/L60A Battery Pack
With a battery pack, the DSR-1/1P will operate continuously for the time
shown below.
BP-L40: Approx. 75 minutes
BP-L60A: Approx. 150 minutes
Before use, charge the battery pack with a BC-L50/L100/L100CE Battery
Charger.
Notes on using the battery pack
•A warm battery pack may not be fully recharged.
•Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually lose their charge
naturally. Use the battery packs as soon as possible after recharging.
•To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a cool place (about
20°C (68°F)), and charge in a place with an ambient temperature between
10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
•Before long-term storage, discharge the battery fully. This extends the
battery life.
•It is recommended that the BP-L40 be used at 30 W or less. The specified
capacity may not be obtained if the BP-L40 is connected to the DSR-1/1P
which is operated with camera and accessories at 30 W or higher,
especially when the ambient temperature is low.
•At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs decreases. When
the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F), usable time decreases by about
10%. (However, the usable time is affected by the power consumption of
the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories in addition to the usage status of
the battery packs.) The usable time of battery packs increases if they are
warmed to the room temperature (about 20°C (68°F)) before use at low
temperatures.
•If you use the BP-L40 at temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or below, when
power consumption of the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories is 40 W or
higher (due to using a video light, for example), power may break after a
short time (a few minutes). To increase the usable time, store the BP-L40
in a warm place, and power on the DSR-1/1P and camera before the BP-
L40 cools down.
