Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. • Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. • Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. • Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. • Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. • Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. • Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Overview/Features The BP-GL65/GL95 Battery Pack uses lithium-ion batteries. Use the BP-GL65/GL95 Battery Pack only with equipment whose Operation Manual recommends its use. The features of the BP-GL65/GL95 are as follows: • The battery pack can be recharged before being fully exhausted. • Small size, light weight, and large capacity • Remaining charge is finely indicated by the LED status. • When used in conjunction with the BC-M150 Battery Charger, the BP-GL65/GL95 supports "INFO function" which fetches various information from the battery packs. Caution On use and storage • Please consult the store where you purchased this battery pack or your sales representative before using the battery pack in a product whose operation manual dose not explicitly state that the battery pack can be used, or before using the battery pack in conjunction with another power supply. Inappropriate use of the battery pack may result in unit misoperation. • Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals*. • Keep the battery pack away from fire and intense heat, as it may explode. • Never attempt to open the battery pack. • Never expose the battery pack to rain or moisture. • Avoid mechanical shock. • If the battery pack terminals become soiled, clean them with a soft cloth. • The battery pack may become warm in use or while being charged. This is normal. • Never expose the battery pack to temperatures above 60°C (140°F). • Keep away from children. • Store the battery pack in dry, well-ventilated place. • If the battery pack is to be stored for an extended period, it should first be fully discharged. • The performance and operating time of the battery may drop under cold conditions. When this happens, do the following to extend the operating time of the battery pack: - Keep the battery pack warm and attach it to the component right before use. - Charge the battery pack only with the BC-M150 Battery Charger within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). • The internal impedance of the battery pack increases as the temperature drops. This may result in a shorter operating time or the failure of the component to which it is connected to turn on. This phenomenon occurs more frequently in battery packs that have been charged many times than in new ones. • The discharge curve (voltage corresponding to the remaining capacity) of the BP-GL65/GL95 differs from those of the conventional lithium ion batteries. Thus, when you attempt to use the battery alarm function with the device which does not support "INFO function" and the alarm setting of the device is for the conventional lithium ion batteries, the duration between the battery alarm emission and the battery pack exhaustion becomes extremely short. If possible, it is recommended to change the battery alarm setting on the device. For details on how to change the battery alarm setting, refer to the Maintenance Manual supplied with the device. On changing the battery alarm setting, refer to the values below and check the actual device. Even if the battery alarm setting has been changed on the device, the duration between the battery alarm emission and battery pack exhaustion becomes shorter than the BP-L series battery packs, falling to one to two minutes. Reference (battery alarm settings for typical devices with which the BP-GL65/GL95 can be used) When the voltage of the battery pack drops to the level described below, the battery alarm is emitted from the device. DNW-7/9/90 series: 13.0 V DVW-7xx series: 13.0 V DSR-3xx/5xxWS series: 12.5 V *A protection circuit will shut off the current to protect the battery pack's internal cells under the following conditions: - When an excessive current flow is caused by overloading or short circuited terminals. - When a drop in voltage results in the cessation of current output. Once the protection circuit has tripped, the battery pack will not return to normal automatically. To cancel the effect of the protection circuit, you must charge the battery pack with the BCM150 Battery Charger. If the protection circuit trips immediately after charging, consult the service personnel and have the device inspected. Battery life Battery life depends on the storage temperature, operating temperature, and frequency of use. Renew the battery pack when the operating time with a completely charged battery pack becomes noticeably short. Operation Charging The battery pack discharges naturally over time. It is recommended that you fully charge the battery pack before using it. For details of the charging procedure, refer to the Operation Manual supplied with the BC-M150 Battery Charger. • The BP-GL65/GL95 can be charged using the BC-L50/L50CE/ L100/L100CE/L120/M50 as well as the BC-M150. • It takes about 150 minutes (for the BP-GL65)/145 minutes (for the BP-GL95) before it is completely charged (when the BCM150 is used for charging). • The battery pack can be charged within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). However, we recommend charging within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) to ensure optimum battery performance. About the LED indications Remaining capacity indication of the battery pack (figure A) The BP-GL65/GL95 is factory-set so that the four LEDs located at the side finely indicate the remaining capacity. When the BP-GL65/GL95 is connected to a device such as a camcorder and the device is turned on, the battery pack starts to supply power to the device and the LEDs automatically turn on to indicate the remaining capacity. To change the remaining capacity indication setting (figure B-a/b/c) • To turn off the indication for the remaining capacity of less than 20% Keep pressing the CHECK button for more than 3 seconds (figure B-a). When you release the button while the LEDs are lighting up as indicated in figure B-b, the LEDs flash twice and the setting is completed. • To resume the indication for the remaining capacity of less than 20% Keep pressing the CHECK button for more than 3 seconds (figure B-a). When you release the button while the LEDs are lighting up as indicated in figure B-c, the LEDs flash twice and the setting is completed. Indications while the battery pack is being charged (table C) While the battery pack is being charged, the LEDs light up as indicated in the table C. When the battery pack is charged using the BC-M150, the LEDs do not light up.
