3. Preparing the machine for use
3.1. Power supply
3.1.1. Mains power requirements
The Courier is supplied with an external power adapter which will work from 90-
260 volts, 50 or 60Hz. To make it compatible with the majority of power supply
systems throughout the world, there are four adapters which can be altered
depending on the country of operation :
•
Europe
•
UK
•
USA/Japan
•
Australasia
This means that you can travel world-wide with your Courier and still be able to
use the native mains supply.
To remove an adapter simply push it out from the main supply unit, away from the
supply lead. Each of the adapters clicks into place by pushing it in to the supply
unit towards the lead.
This mains supply charges the installed battery and operates the unit
simultaneously. The supply is terminated with an XLR-4 power socket for
connection to the Courier.
3.1.2. Portable power requirements
The unit operates from a standard domestic 8mm camcorder battery used for
powering Sony, JVC, Sharp or Panasonic camcorder varieties. The Courier does
not support batteries which power the less popular Hitachi, Minolta or Canon types
of camcorder.
There are many batteries available in many different sizes and capacities. We
recommend the use of Duracell nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (DR10 and
DR11) over the equivalent nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries, because NiMH
batteries have less of a memory effect than NiCd batteries and will show a better
performance over an extended time.
