Rear

a Rear tally lamp
The tally lamp lights when a call signal is generated in
response to the pressing of a CALL button or a tally signal
input to the EXT I/O connector.
The rear tally lamp also serves as a battery alarm function.
If the voltage of the XLR input connected to the camera
decreases, the rear tally lamp flashes. If the voltage
approaches the limit, the rear tally lamp switches to high-
speed flashing.
The alarm voltage for starting flashing can be set in the
BEFORE END item of the BATTERY ALARM page of the
MAINTENANCE menu, and the alarm voltage for switching to
high-speed flashing can be set in the END item.
If you want to give priority to the tally function and call function,
set the BATTERY ALARM item of the BATTERY ALARM page
of the MAINTENANCE menu to OFF.
