at 2.2 Ah will power the DVS-300 for approximately
1.75 hours; and two batteries will power the DVS-300
for approximately 4.5 hours during normal usage. Actual
battery operation time will vary with battery rating and
use.
If operating the DVS-300 on AC power and if at least
one battery is also installed, the External Power Icon will
appear in the Status Overlay for 3 seconds if the DVS-
300 is disconnected from AC power to indicate the switch
to battery power.
Checking Battery Status: LEDs
The CCU-10 has four battery indicator LEDs, two for each
battery, located just below the screen (See Figure 12).
Figure 12 - Battery Indicator LEDs
When the unit is turned ON and batteries are in the
battery docks, the battery indicator LEDs on the DVS-300
will reflect the state of each battery as shown in Table 4 to
put a box around the LED lights in this image.

Plug the power cord into a standard outlet. If using an
extension cord no greater than 25 ft [7.6 m], ensure
the cord has a gauge of at least 18 AWG. If using an
extension cord greater than 25 ft [7.6 m], ensure the cord
has a gauge of at least 16 AWG.
