3.1.2 Charging the Tracer external battery
Fully charging a discharged Tracer battery usually takes between 4 to 6 hours. Please note that the battery should be
charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (32°F and 104°F). A new Tracer battery used under optimum
environmental conditions yields up to 7 hours of usage. This depends, however, on multiple variables which may
decrease usage time, including the cell temperatures, the load, and the age (i.e. charging cycles) of the battery.
The Tracer battery and charger come delivered with the LF10. Only use the battery charger supplied with the LF10.
1. First, disconnect the battery cable from the battery output connector (Item 1 in Image 5).
2. Plug the charger's power supply cable into the wall socket-outlet.
3. Plug the DC barrel connector into the battery charging connector (Item 3 in Image 5).
When the status LED of the charger is red/yellow, the battery is charging. When the status LED of the charger is green
while the DC barrel connector is connected to the battery, the charge is complete. The status LED is also green when the
DC barrel connector is disconnected. If the external battery needs to be charged, the camera will prompt the following
message: Low battery.
