Operating Time with Battery Pack
When the VF-P115B is used as the viewfinder and a fully
charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous
operating time is as follows:
Battery Pack Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C)
NP-1B 60 minutes
Magnum 14 130 minutes
NP-L40 80 minutes
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a
cool, dry place.
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be
subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,
etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service
life.
When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the
operating time will be shortened.
If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even
immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery
pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

To display the remaining battery power accurately, set the
VCR Setup Menu item No. 396 BATTERY TYPE according
to the type of the battery pack in use.
See page 69.
The status of the remaining battery power can be checked by
the remaining battery power indication.
See page 22.
When the remaining battery power is nearly exhausted, the
following warning messages will appear. In this case, replace
with a fully charged battery as soon as possible.
Remaining battery power indication:
Segment bar and "BATT" indicator start to blink
WARNING indicator and TALLY lamp blink
Viewfinder:
• BATT lamp and TALLY lamp blink
• "LOW BATTERY" character indication (Status 0 or Status

Alarm sound beeps
After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the
GY-DV500 automatically stops operation if the battery
power operation is continued.
Battery operating time may differ depending on the number
of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions
and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the
table on the left for approximate reference times.
Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.
Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used
frequently.
Recharging
Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it.
Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could
result in reduced battery capacity.
If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete
recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge
the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the
battery capacity.
If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature
raised immediately after use, recharging may not be
performed completely.
