Installing The Backup Battery - Canon XL1 Instruction Manual

Taking care of the battery pack
Always attach the terminal cover.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the
terminals, as this can cause a short circuit and
damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal
cover whenever the battery pack is not being
used.
Keep the terminals clean.
• The camera, adapter or battery pack will not work properly if the terminals are dirty. Check them before
use, and wipe them with a dry cloth or tissue if necessary.
Storing the battery pack
• If you do not use a battery pack for a period of more than a few months any remaining charge may cause
damage to the battery pack, and reduce usage time. To prevent damage therefore, aim to use a battery
pack's complete charge before storage.

Installing the backup battery

Pull out the battery holder from the base of the
camera, and insert the CR2025 lithium battery with
the + side facing upwards. Click the holder back
into place.
This backup battery allows the camera to
remember the date and time and other settings
when the main power source is removed. It has a
life span of about a year.
When it needs replacing (or if it has not been installed), the j mark flashes in the display. Remove the old
battery by pulling out the battery holder from the base on the camera. Make sure you attach a power source
to the camera first, and turn it off using the STANDBY button. This way it will remember your chosen
settings when you change the battery.
