Note: If you re a long continuous series of ashes, especially at full power, the batteries in the Compact
Battery Pack may get hot. The pack will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. The indicator lights will
turn off when this happens. In this event, unplug the pack from your ash unit and allow the batteries to cool
for at least 10 minutes before continuing use.
To get the best use out of your Compact Battery Pack:
• Use in environments with moderate temperatures. When some battery types get cold, they lose some of
their ability to supply power. However, this does not mean that they have lost their charge, and they regain
the ability to supply power when their temperature returns to a more moderate level.
• High temperatures can cause some battery types to drain more quickly. If you have to shoot in a hot
environment, plan ahead for reduced battery capacity.
• To conserve battery life, turn the ash unit off or disconnect the Compact Battery Pack from it during long
standby periods. Very little power is consumed when the pack is in standby mode. The amount may vary
according to working conditions and the specic ash model used with the pack.
• Don’t re more than 20 full-power ashes in a row as this can overheat and damage your ash. Refer to
your ash unit’s manual for information on its continuous full-power ash capacity and limitations.
