SAFEGUARDS

Power Sources: This unit was designed to operate at mains voltages from

90 to 250 Volts AC, 50-60 Hz.

Risk of Electrical Shock: Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

GROUNDING/EARTHING

IMPORTANT WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

To ensure safe operation, the three pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a
standard three-pin power point which is effectively grounded through the normal
household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-conductor
and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth ground. Improperly wired
extension cords are a dangerous electrical hazard.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
properly grounded and that the installation is completely safe. If any doubt exists about
the correct grounding of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this main lead are colored in accordance with the

following code:

Green and yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live

FUSE TYPE/REPLACEMENT

The mains input of the PowerCharger is fused using a printed circuit board
mounted device which should be replaced ONLY by a qualified service technician.

OPERATION

Self-Test

Upon applying mains power, each PowerCharger will initiate a self-test mode. This mode is
indicated in the LCD, by an audible alert and the lighting of each LED on the PowerCharger
(and any charge module attached) in sequence. Upon completion of the self-test, the green
status light will light steadily, indicating that the unit is ready for operation.

NOTE: Mount batteries to the charger or any charge expansion module attached only

when the PowerCharger has completed its self-test mode. Disconnect the
camera cable from the 4 Pin XLR Connector located on the back of the
PowerCharger.
