Charging The Battery - Focus FS-4 User Manual

Quickstart

Charging the Battery

The battery begins charging anytime it is connected to AC power using
the AC adapter supplied with the FS-4. The charge LED lights when the
FS-4 is charging. For information on the charge LED, refer to the
subsection "Top Panel" on page 9.
Before the battery can be used it must charge until the battery status
LED indicates the unit is fully charged.
• The Charge LED on the top of the FS-4 lights to show the
battery is charging.
• An uncharged battery takes 2-3 hours to charge with the unit
powered off.
• The battery provided with the FS-4 can supply power to the
unit for about 90 minutes while in continuous Record or
Playback mode.
• An optional high capacity battery capable of providing power
for almost three hours of continuous recording is available
from Focus Enhancements.
Using FireWire to Charge FS-4
It is possible to charge the FS-4 battery through the 1394 port on a computer
provided that the computer outputs at least 15V through the port. To
determine if this is possible, consult the computer's specifications.
Battery Use
Misuse can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns
if a conductive material such as jewelry, buttons, or beaded chains
touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects.
Warning: Do Not Use Unapproved Battery Chargers
Use of battery chargers not approved by Focus Enhancements could
cause the battery to catch fire or explode.
