Info

Quickstart Charging the Battery The battery begins charging anytime it is connected to AC power using the AC adapter supplied with the FS-4. The charge LED lights when the FS-4 is charging. For information on the charge LED, refer to the subsection “Top Panel” on page 9. Before the battery can be used it must charge until the battery status LED indicates the unit is fully charged. • The Charge LED on the top of the FS-4 lights to show the battery is charging. • An uncharged battery takes 2-3 hours to charge with the unit powered off. • The battery provided with the FS-4 can supply power to the unit for about 90 minutes while in continuous Record or Playback mode. • An optional high capacity battery capable of providing power for almost three hours of continuous recording is available from Focus Enhancements. Using FireWire to Charge FS-4 It is possible to charge the FS-4 battery through the 1394 port on a computer provided that the computer outputs at least 15V through the port. To determine if this is possible, consult the computer’s specifications. Battery Use Misuse can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, buttons, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Warning: Do Not Use Unapproved Battery Chargers Use of battery chargers not approved by Focus Enhancements could cause the battery to catch fire or explode.
