Sanyo DSR-C100 instruction manual Installing and Handling, Ni-Cd Backup Battery

INSTALLING AND HANDLING

THE Ni-Cd BACKUP BATTERY

The Ni-Cd battery which is supplied with the camera is used as a backup power supply for the clock and the hard disk.

The battery has not been charged. Before turning on the camera power, install the battery by referring to the points below. If any problems with battery operation or leakages of battery fluid occur, contact the place of purchase.

Note:

•Once the camera's power has been turned on and left on for 24 hours, the battery will be charged sufficiently to provide 30 days of backup operation.

•If the battery is used continuously for long periods, leakage of battery fluid may occur. The interior of the battery compartment is lined with absorbent material to absorb any fluid which should happen to leak from the battery, so if replacing the battery after a leak has occurred, be sure to replace this absorbent material also.

•Always be sure to use the accessory AC adapter. If you use some other commercially-available AC adapter, detection of problems with the backup battery will not be possible, and damage to the hard disk may result.

•If the camera power supply is turned off or a power outage occurs after the battery has only been charging for a short time, it may cause the clock setting to be re-initialized. If this happens, the camera will not operate.

•Never open the rear cover while power is being supplied to the camera. Always be sure to set the hard disk to the standby condition before opening the rear cover. (See page 18)

(Warning displays)

•When the camera power is turned on after the battery has been replaced, “LOW BATT” will appear on the monitor screen, and charging of the battery will start automatically.

•Approximately 1 hour of charging time is needed before the “LOW BATT” display disappears from the monitor screen. If the “LOW BATT” display does not disappear after one hour or more has passed, it may indicate a problem with the battery.

•If “LOW BATT” appears on the monitor screen while the camera is in use, the warning indicator will flash and recording of images will be halted. This may also indicate a problem with the battery, so replace the battery at such times.

•If the battery has not been installed, or if the battery terminal contacts are not complete, “NO BATT” will appear on the monitor display. If this happens, check the battery once more.
