Features
The BC-DWX1 is a battery charger that can charge two
DWT-B03R or NP-BX1 units at the same time.
• In addition to charging the NP-BX1 battery packs alone,
the unit is capable of charging the battery packs while
they are inserted in DWT-B03R digital wireless
transmitters.
• Two power supplies are supported; AC adapter (not
supplied) power and PoE (Power over Ethernet) via
LAN cable.
• Connecting the unit to a network allows you to monitor
the charge status and change settings via the Wireless
Studio* computer software.
* Wireless Studio version 5.0 or later required.
Important Notes on
Operation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location,
or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may
form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the
unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation
clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5
years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage
exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
The battery terminal of this unit (the connector for battery
packs and AC adaptors) is a consumable part.
Power may not be supplied to the unit properly if the pins
of the battery terminal are bent or deformed by shock or
vibrations, or if they become corroded due to prolonged
outdoor use.
Periodic inspections are recommended to keep the unit
working properly and to prolong its usable lifetime.
Contact a Sony service or sales representative for more
information about inspections.
Notes on Cross Remote
• When supplying power to the BC-DWX1 via LAN cable
(i.e., Power over Ethernet), always use IEEE802.3af-
compliant PoE power sourcing equipment (e.g., PoE
hub).
For details on operating the PoE power sourcing
equipment or PoE hub, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the device.
• When power supplies from both an AC adapter and PoE
power sourcing equipment exist, the AC adapter power
supply will be prioritized.
Maintaining Performance
• Be sure to check that there are no foreign objects or
particles in the charging ports before inserting
transmitters into the unit for charging. The presence of
foreign objects or particles may prevent proper charging.
• A charged battery will slowly discharge, even when it is
not in use. Be sure to charge the battery before each use
to ensure safe operation.
• Proper charging may not be possible if the unit or the
battery terminals are dirty. In such cases, wipe the
terminals with a dry cloth or cotton swab. When doing
so, make sure that the unit is turned off, and never touch
the charging terminals directly with your hands.
