Installing
the BaHery
on
the
Camera
The on-board battery fits helow the CCD control unit on the bat-
tery side
of
the camera body. ln order to
in
stall, loosen the black
knurled screw approximately four
or
five tum
s.
Pu
sh
th
e baue
ry
evenly onto
th
e XLR4 eonnection on the body.
Wh
en
sn
ug,
tighten the knurled screw
ontO
the battery tab
ro
hold il
in
place.
When running AatonCode. get inlo the practice
of
having a fresh
bauery on hand hefore removing the one from the camera. Even
a low battcry that no longer runs
th
e body (below
IOV
) will have
enough voltage to keep accurate time counting.
Thanks
ta a super capaciror built into the camera base, you will
have a
fu
ll minute to change the hattery before time
is
1
0s1.
After
replacing the battery, confirm that time is still counting by look-
ing for
the yellow blinking diode to the right
of
the motor
or
checking the Control Panel.

Battery
Charging
The Aaton on-board can he recharged wi
th
an
appropriate 12V
nicad battery charger.
For the best
results, use a microprocessor-controlled charger
or
a
standard trickle charger wi
th
a charging output
of
at
least 2ooma,
bath
of
which
pTCvent
the overheating and mistreatment
of
your
nicad cells. Always
fo
ll
ow the specifie guidelines
of
the charger
manufac
tu
rer.
Beware
of
older, timed chargers manufactured when 1
,2
and 1.4-
ah balteries were the norm: these chargers were most
Ii
kely raled
for the lower amperage batteries
of
that time and will consistently
undercharge the higher rated nicad cells
of
today.
