When the battery is low, the battery status bar border will turn red
and flash to alert the operator. The time remaining will typically be
10 minutes.
Note:
It is recommended that before each BA team enters the fire, the camera
should be used with a fully charged rechargeable battery.
Disposal of batteries should be in line with local procedures and they should
be segregated from domestic waste. Alternatively, the batteries may be
returned to e2v technologies for safe disposal.
The battery pack will self-discharge at approximately 2% per day. Battery
packs that have been stored off-charge for two weeks will run a camera for
at least two hours. It is recommended that the rechargeable batteries are
placed into storage fully charged and are routinely recharged so as to be
ready for use and to maintain performance. Shelf life is maximised by
storage between 10
°
C and 25
°
C (50
°
F and 77
°
F).
To maintain the accuracy of the battery charge indicator, e2v recommends
that batteries be occasionally fully discharged in a camera before charging.
