Carrying strap 1, 2
The carrying strap is attached by firstly withdrawing the safety
collar. The hook is then freed and attached to the strap lug (fig. 1).
Slide back the safety collar (fig. 2) to ensure the hook remains in
the locked position between the small protruding lugs. The collar
is purposely a tight fit and might need some effort to slide.
Rechargeable battery grip 3, 4
The H3D requires battery power for all actions. Being a completely
digital camera there is naturally no mechanical reserve facility. It
is therefore advisable to keep the reserve grip complete with fresh
lithium batteries handy if you do not use a spare rechargeable grip.
As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered
when used in very low temperatures. In this situation it is advisable
to keep the reserve in an inside pocket, for example, to maintain
them near body temperature.
The Battery grip rechargeable 7.2V (3043348) is the standard
power source for the H3D camera. Remove it from the camera by
depressing the battery holder button and simultaneously swinging
the battery holder retaining lever down until it stops. Pull battery
grip downwards.
If you intend to store the battery grip separately from the camera
you should ensure that the safety cover is in place. It snaps into
place and is removed by pulling outwards and upwards on the
locking clip as in the illustration.
The battery charger 5, 6
The battery charger unit is supplied with five plug attachments to
suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide.
Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter.
Attach the chosen plug (fig 6) by sliding it into position, ensuring
that the two electrical contact prongs on the charger correctly
enter the two contact sockets on the plug attachment. Removal is
by the reverse procedure.
Please note the Battery charger BC-H Li-ion 7.2 VDC (3053568) is
designed for use with Battery grip rechargeable 7.2V units only.
Charging the battery 7
With the battery grip removed from the camera, insert the jack
plug from the battery charger into the socket (fig. 6) on the bat-
tery grip. Insert the battery charger into a standard (100–240V~
/50–60 Hz) domestic socket.
Remember that it will take around 12 hours to load the battery
properly the first time.
The red LED indicator on the battery charger signifies the fol-
lowing:
On (not flashing)
= battery is charging
Slow flashing (0.8 Hz)
= charging is complete and condition is being
maintained.
Or occasionally
Rapid flashing (3 Hz)
= deeply discharged battery is charging
(with reduced current)
