7. About the Rechargeable Battery

A "Li-Poly" (lithium-polymer) rechargeable battery is integrated into the ND2730. This rechargeable battery does not have the so-called “memory effect.” As a result, the rechargeable battery can be charged whenever you want. Furthermore, it has a higher energy content than conventional NiCd and NiMH rechargeable batteries. Note these important instructions when handling the Li-Poly rechargeable battery.

The rechargeable battery can be recharged 400 times. If the battery operation time gets shorter, it may be time to replace the battery. Consult your authorized NEXTODI dealer to replace the internal battery.

DEVICE DIAGRAM ABOUT THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

Caution

● Never damage the rechargeable battery--do not remove it from

the ND2730. Consult the chapter on "Battery Disposal". Damaging the wrapping of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or fire.

● Never short circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Never

touch the connections or electrical components inside the ND2730 with metal objects.

● Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do not use

the product. The ND2730 needs some "current" (a small quantity) at all times. Due to the Li-Poly rechargeable battery technology, it is not necessary to discharge the battery before recharging. Recharge the battery completely, about once a month. The device will be ready for use at any time.

Page 8

8. Charging the Rechargeable Battery

1. Internal battery

The battery can be charged using the AC power adapter unit delivered with this product. A. Turn off the ND2730. B. Connect the charger’s wall plug to the ND2730’s "DC IN" slot C. Plug the AC power adapter unit into a wall socket D. The LED above the control key shows red when charging E. When the battery is charged, the red LED turns off F. If there is an error when charging, the LED blinks. If this happens, unplug the AC adapter unit and plug it in again.

Users can charge the ND2730 via the car charger, the USB/ FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) cable, or the AA battery holder (optional).

With a completely empty rechargeable battery, the charging procedure lasts approximately 4 hours using the AC power adapter, the car charger cable, the USB cable, or the FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) cable.

Reference

● You must turn off the ND2730 in order to charge the unit.

● The ND2730 can be charged via USB without using the AC power adapter

included in the box. A high powered USB connection is needed, i.e. a USB connection with its own power supply, such as the USB port of a computer or a USB hub with a power unit.

● If the ND2730 is operated with a notebook, you must always use the AC power

adapter unit to charge the ND2730. Notebooks may not deliver the necessary amount of current via USB.

● The ND2730 will operate for about two hours with a fully charged internal

battery.

● When connected to a computer using FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) or USB,

the ND2730 draws power from the computer, not the internal battery.

● If the ND2730’s battery is completely discharged, the performance of the

battery may be degraded. It is recommended that the ND2730‘s battery be recharged before the battery gauge reaches the empty level.

● Back up data is stored in the "NEXTOPS " folder. This

folder is created automatically. The ND2730 generates a new folder for each memory card copy. The name of the folder is determined by the shooting

date.

● For example, 20081112.000 means the last photo

taken on November 12, 2008. (If you copy multiple items on a single day, the last three digits will be changed to indicate the download sequence – “000, 001,002, 003, etc.) The date code comes from the digital cameras If the date setting on the digital camera is incorrect, the folder name of the ND2730 will also be incorrect.

● If a copying failure occurs, the copy is stored on

your computer as a TMP folder. The TMP folder contains the same file names, but the data may be

abnormal. You may delete the TMP folder (see chapter 14).

4. Disconnecting the ND2730 from Your Computer

For Windows Right click the Storage device icon in the System Tray (lower right corner of your screen) and select “Safely Remove Hardware” or “Unplug” or “Eject Hardware”. Then disconnect the cable from your ND2730 and your computer.

For MAC Drag and drop the NEXTODI icon to the trash. Then disconnect the cable from your ND2730 and your computer.

12. Data Backup (Copy) and Verify

This chapter explains the ‘Copy’ and ‘Verify’ functions. Insert a memory card into the corresponding memory slot. The slot for the Compact Flash(CF) card is located on the top side of the ND2730. The slot for the SD/SDXC/SDHC card is located on the left side of ND2730. When copying from a memory card, the ND2730 must not be connected to a computer. The ND2730 can copy a memory card onto the internal hard disk drive via the built-in memory slot. After the backup, the copy procedure can be verified. The data on the memory card and the data on the hard disk drive are compared with one another. This ensures that the data has been copied properly (“Verify”). You can choose the “New Copy” or the “Verify” function according to whether the contents of the memory card have been copied before.

Reference

● Do not insert more than one memory card at a time into the ND2730.

Only the first memory card will be detected.

● Insert the memory card carefully. The pins may become bent if

you insert the memory card incorrectly.

15. Troubleshooting Tips

If the power on the ND2730 cannot be turned OFF via the On/Off button:

Press the recessed Reset key using a toothpick or paper clip. The Reset key is located on the bottom of the ND2730 to the right of the FireWire 800 port. (See diagram below.) The Reset key will turn the power off safely so that the data stored in the hard drive will not be lost or altered.

IF THE POWER CANNOT BE TURNED ON:

The ND2730 has an internal rechargeable battery. If you cannot turn on the ND2730 with the On/Off button, it may be that the internal battery has been discharged. Connect the AC power adapter to the ND2730 and push the power button for more than 2 seconds to turn the ND2730 on.

Press and hold the key for more than two second.

WHEN MEMORY CARD IS NOT DETECTED BY THE ND2730:

Insert the memory card carefully. The pins may become bent if you insert the memory card incorrectly. If a pin in the slot becomes bent, the ND2730 will not be able to detect the memory card correctly. In that case, you can straighten the pin using tools for emergency use. Contact your reseller for after service.

IF MULTIPLE MEMORY CARDS ARE INSERTED INTO THE ND2730 AT THE SAME TIME:

Only one memory card should be inserted into the ND2730 at a time. If more than one card is inserted into the ND2730, only the first card will be detected. In rare instances, the insertion of two memory cards at the same time will cause the message on the LCD screen to be unrecognizable. If this occurs, you may need to turn off the ND2730 via the recessed Reset key using a toothpick or paper clip. The Reset key is located on the bottom of the unit to the right of the FireWire 800 port. The Reset key will turn the power off safely so that the data stored in the hard drive will not be lost or altered.
