For details of the power supplies which can be used, refer to the documentation supplied with the VTR connected to this unit or the camera adaptor.

Using an Anton Bauer Intelligent Battery System and Ultralight System

Fitting the special battery mount made by Anton Bauer Corporation to this unit allows you to use their Intelligent Battery System and Ultralight System.

For details, consult your Anton Bauer products supplier or Sony dealer.

Using Battery Packs

Always fully charge a battery pack before using it.

Notes

•Be careful that other metal objects do not come in contact with the metal parts of the battery pack, as this could cause a short.

•Do not leave the battery pack in the camera if it is not going to be used for a long time.

•If the battery pack is recharged after use while still hot, it may not be possible to obtain a full charge.

Battery low indications

When the voltage of the supply to the camera head lowers to or below 11.0 V, the battery voltage indication appears in the viewfinder. At this time, the BATT indicator in the viewfinder flashes when operating with the DSR-1/1P or PVV-3/3P.

If you continue using the camera head, the BATT indicator lights up.

When the battery pack is low, replace it with a fully- charged battery pack.
