2.1 Charging the batteries
When the system is unpacked the first thing to do, is to charge the
batteries fully.
The Value Added Suitcase is delivered with two 7.2 volt Lithium-Ion
batteries and a duo-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 camera back if you connect it to the IEEE1394/
FireWire port on your computer using a 6-pin FireWire cable.
The battery charger can adapt to voltages within a range of 110 to 250
volts.
It comes with an international set of power adaptors (placed in the
suitcase 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).
After the first initial charge, the batteries can be charged when needed
please notice, if you let the battery in the charger after fully charged,
the duocharger will still see the battery as 100% even though power
may have fallen, before usage it is recommended that the battery is
dismounted and remounted.
Purchasing extra batteries
The Phase One P+ back comes with two 2500mAh batteries. If you
need to purchase extra batteries
Due to difference in the tolerances of some third party batteries, these
may not fit into the digital back’s battery compartment. Do not try to
force a battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release
button it should slide in without problems.
