8.5 Onboard Batteries
The camera can be equipped with adapters for either V-Lock or Gold Mount
video-style batteries. When a battery equipped with the TI-protocol for battery
communication is used, the ALEXA will display remaining capacity as a percentage
on the HOME screen. For these batteries, the user does not need to set the battery
warning level.
Four different adapters are available:
•
BAB-G: Battery Adapter Back for Gold Mount batteries
•
BAB-V: Battery Adapter Back for V-Lock batteries
•
BAT-G: Battery Adapter Top for Gold Mount batteries
•
BAT-V: Battery Adapter Top for V-Lock batteries
NOTICE
Adapters must be installed by a trained technician!
8.5.1 V-Lock Batteries
V-Lock batteries from different manufacturers may be used on the ALEXA. When
batteries from manufacturers such as ID-X and bebob are used, their remaining
capacity will be displayed as a percentage on the HOME screen.

1. Align the v-shaped wedge on the battery with the v-shaped notch on the battery
plate.
2. Press the battery downwards until you hear a click.
3. Check that the battery is securely mounted on the battery plate.
