2.3 Charging the Battery for the IQ1 Digital Back
Charge the battery as soon as the camera system has been unpacked.
The IQ1 Camera System and IQ1 Series Digital back is delivered with one
7.2 volt Lithium-Ion battery and a duo-charger.
Always keep a battery in the IQ1 back even when shooting tethered to a
computer via a FireWire or USB connection. (Go to page 84 for more details
about charging the battery while tethered to a computer).
The battery charger can adapt to voltages within a range of 110 to 250 volts.
It comes with an international set of power adaptors (located in the suitcase
utility compartment). Please select the appropriate one that ts your outlet
and slide it in from the top to mount it in place securely.
Connect the unit to the outlet and charge the battery (approximately 2.5
to 3 hours).
Purchasing Extra Batteries
The Phase One IQ1 back comes with one battery. Phase One recommends
the Canon BP 915 (with more than 2500 mAh) if you need to purchase extra
batteries.
Some third party batteries may not t into the digital back’s battery
compartment due to dierences in the tolerances. Do not try to force a
battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release button it
should slide in without being hindered.
