Charging the Battery
The battery begins charging anytime it is connected to AC power
using the AC adapter supplied with the FS-C. The charge LED
lights when the FS-C is charging. For information on the charge
LED, refer to the subsection
Before the battery can be used it must charge until the battery
status LED indicates the unit is fully charged (green).
• The Charge LED on the top of the FS-C lights to show the
battery is charging.
• An uncharged battery takes 2-3 hours to charge with the
unit powered off.
• The battery provided with the FS-C can supply power to
the unit for about 90 minutes while in continuous Record
or Playback mode.
• An optional high capacity battery (
BATT-0009-01
) capable
of providing power for almost three hours of continuous
recording is available from Focus Enhancements.
Using FireWire to Charge FS-C
It is possible to charge the FS-C battery through the 1394 port on a
computer provided that the computer outputs at least 15V through the
port. To determine if this is possible, consult the computer’s
specifications.
Battery Use
Misuse can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, buttons, or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling a charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.
Warning: Do Not Use Unapproved Battery Chargers
Use of battery chargers not approved by Focus Enhancements
could cause the battery to catch fire or explode.
