*Subject to change without notice Atomos Shogun – User Manual Edition 1: December 2014 9
The Shogun is a battery powered device. Like all batteries, you will need
to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the connections
because this can result in very high currents that can damage the cells
andcouldposearehazard.
Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger
supplied. To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot until it locks
into position. To remove a battery, push the latch to release it.
Batteries do not charge in a linear way. At rst they charge very
quickly, and then the rate slows down to a trickle. While charging,
one or more red lights will blink. When 90% charge is reached, all the
lights will ash. It is perfectly OK to use the batteries at this point and
we recommend stopping at this stage for the longest battery life. If
you leave the batteries on charge after all four lights are ashing, the
charger goes into trickle charging mode for the nal 10%. Eventually,
when trickle charging is complete, and the batteries are at 100%
charge, all the lights will go out.
Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so as
to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste
treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure
if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and
verify if they are permitted or not.
Once the Shogun is switched on, it will operate from your external
DC power source if available, if no DC power source is present battery 1
will become the primary power source. Battery 1 will work as redundant
power if DC power is disconnected.
To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot and lock into
position. To remove a battery, push the release button below the battery.
To attach a DC Power source such as Power Bar, connect the DC cable
to the side of the shogun.
Shogun batteries and modular accessories are held in place tightly
because they are on the outside of the device, this is to ensure there
is no possibility whatsoever that they could work loose, so you may
have to be quite rm with the battery latches. We suggest that you
familiarize yourself with the force required to remove the batteries
and accessories so that you can do this quickly in the eld.
The Shogun features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power
which uses battery looping technology for uninterrupted switching
between power sources during use.
With the optional Atomos Power Station connected to the DC 6.2v input
on the shogun you will not lose power to the unit during a battery change

The Shogun may be powered from NiMH & Li Ion 14.4V battery
systems. Battery adapter required such as the Atomos battery plate
or D-Tap adapter.
