Charging the batteries
When the system is unpacked the first thing to do, is to
give the batteries a full charge.
The two 7.2 volt Lithium-ion batteries comes mounted
in the charger.
Only one battery is used in the P back at a time, but it
is recommended to charge both batteries fully before
you start.
While charging the batteries, you can still use the cam-
era back if you connect it to the IEEE1394/FireWire port
on your computer.
Start by opening the suitcase, remove the software
package and the calibration set placed as a lid on top
of the Utility Compartment to the right, and pull out the
power supply from there.
The charger can adapt to voltages within a range of
110 to 250 volts.
It comes with an international set of source outlet
adaptors (placed in the utility compartment), please
select one that fits your outlet, and mount it by sliding it
in from the top.
Connect the unit to the outlet and charge the batteries
(approximately 2,5 to 3 hours).
While charging, the charger can either remain in the
suitcase (Warning: the lid has to be open to prevent it
from overheating) or you can pull out the charger, fold
out the support stand on the back, and place it upright
on the table.
