USER GUIDE Functions 3.27 BATTERY 2 1 Rechargeable Battery The environmentally approved Battery (Li-ion 3054752) is the standard Power Source for the X1D Camera (1 and 7. It is advisable to keep an extra fully recharged battery at hand. As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when used in very low temperatures. In this situation it is advisable to keep the reserve battery inside a warm pocket, for example, to maintain it near body temperature.
USER GUIDE Functions BATTERY CHARGER The battery charger BCX-1 (3053573) is supplied with a number of plug attachments to suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide. Other types of sockets will require a domestic socket converter. Attach the appropriate plug by sliding it into position as in the illustration to the right. Reverse the procedure to remove the plug.
USER GUIDE Functions RECHARGEABLE BATTERY SPECIFICATION LI-ION/ BATTERY CHARGER 3053573 BCX-1 – PRECAUTIONS and GENERAL The battery should have a usable service life of around 400 recharge/discharge cycles. The battery should be charged for approximately 6 hours before first time use. Connect the battery to the camera correctly. The battery must be charged at room temperature. Maximum battery capacity is reached only after the battery has been charged and discharged several times.
Functions USER GUIDE BATTERY LIFE AND BATTERY WARNING Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of Display Off or Sleep modes for long periods, for example, the battery will become exhausted much faster.
