4. You can begin shooting. After firing the flash some green indicators may go out, then come on again, after the
flash recycles. The status of the battery is most accurately indicated a minute or more after firing the flash.
5. IMPORTANT. When the green lights do not come back on after flash recycling, shut off the Quantum
Battery 3 and recharge. Allowing the battery to discharge further will severely decrease the cells' recharging
lifetime, possibly requiring replacement.
6. To carry the Quantum Battery 3 clip it to your belt or connect a camera strap to the "D" rings for over the
shoulder wearing. Or perhaps you prefer keeping the Quantum Battery in your camera bag or shooting jacket pocket
while you work.
NORMAL CHARGING
Turn the Quantum Battery switch OFF. Plug the charger into a live outlet and insert the recharge plug into the CHG
jack. THE CHG INDICATOR SHOULD LIGHT as well as the BATTERY and ON lights.
Charge for the times given below. This is important to maximize performance of your battery.
Usage
Charging
Full discharge - all green lights out.
Overnight, or up to 24 hours.
Discharge to ¼ level.
Overnight.
Discharge to ¾ or ½ level.
6-8 hours.
Emergency power after full discharge.
Recharge 2-6 hours for partial charge. (Gives 40 to 80% of full charge).
After Emergency power use, give a full overnight charge.
Use only the charger supplied - others will not work.
RECONDITIONING CHARGE
In the event your Quantum Battery is allowed to discharge well beyond the point when all green lights are off, it may
need a reconditioning charge. This may occur if the battery is accidentally left on, or is used heavily several times in
a row without full recharging. In any case, should the battery appear to have lost substantial capacity, give it a
reconditioning charge as follows:
1. Connect the charger as usual.
2. Switch the Quantum Battery to ON.
3. The CHG indicator will not light, but the BATTERY and ON lights will.
4. Charge like that for 24 hours.
After the above reconditioning charge, use and charge the battery normally. DO NOT DO THIS
RECONDITIONING CHARGE EXCEPT AS NECESSARY TO REVIVE THE BATTERY THAT CANNOT BE
CHARGED NORMALLY. (With normal use the reconditioning charge would not be necessary.)
