See page 69. The status of the remaining battery power can be checked by the Remaining Battery Power Display. See page 22. When the remaining battery power is nearly exhausted, the following warning messages will appear. In this case, replace with a fully charged battery as soon as possible. ● Remaining battery power indication: Segment bar and "BATT" indicator start to blink ● WARNING indicator and TALLY lamp blink ● Viewfinder: • BATT lamp and TALLY lamp blink • "LOW BATTERY" character indication (Status 0 or Status 1 mode) ● Alarm sound beeps After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the GY-DV500 automatically stops operation if the battery power operation is continued. Operating Time with Battery Pack When the VF-P115B is used as the viewfinder and a fully charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous operating time is as follows: Battery Pack NP-1B Magnum 14 NP-L40 Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C) 60 minutes 130 minutes 80 minutes ● Battery operating time may differ depending on the number of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for approximate reference times. ● Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment. ● Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used frequently. PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK ● When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car, etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service life. ● When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened. ● If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack. Recharging ● Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity. ● If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity. ● If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely. 38
