*Subject to change without notice Atomos Shogun – User Manual Edition 2: January 2016 9
The Shogun is a battery powered device. Like all batteries, you will need
to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the connections
because this can result in very high currents that can damage the cells
andcouldposearehazard.
Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger
supplied. To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot until it locks
into position. To remove a battery, push the latch to release it.
Batteries do not charge in a linear way. At rst they charge very
quickly, and then the rate slows down to a trickle. While charging,
one or more red lights will blink. When 90% charge is reached, all the
lights will ash. It is perfectly OK to use the batteries at this point and
we recommend stopping at this stage for the longest battery life. If
you leave the batteries on charge after all four lights are ashing, the
charger goes into trickle charging mode for the nal 10%. Eventually,
when trickle charging is complete, and the batteries are at 100%
charge, all the lights will go out.
Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so as
to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste
treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure
if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and
verify if they are permitted or not.
Once the Shogun is switched on, it will operate from your external DC
power source if available, if no DC power source is present, then the
battery will become the primary power source. The battery will work as
redundant power if DC power is disconnected. Battery Priority mode will
allow you to prioritize the use of battery over DC and is ideal for use with
the Atomos Power Station.
To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot and lock into
position. To remove a battery, push the release button below the battery.
To attach a DC Power source such as Power Station, connect the DC
cable to the side of the shogun.
Shogun batteries and modular accessories are held in place tightly
because they are on the outside of the device, this is to ensure there
is no possibility whatsoever that they could work loose, so you may
have to be quite rm with the battery latches. We suggest that you
familiarize yourself with the force required to remove the batteries
and accessories so that you can do this quickly in the eld.
The Shogun features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power
which uses battery looping technology for uninterrupted switching
between power sources during use.
With the optional Atomos Power Station connected to the DC 6.2v input
on the shogun you will not lose power to the unit during a battery change

AtomOS 6.5.1 introduced Battery Priority mode that allows for continuous
power when used with an Atomos PowerStation.
• Pressing the battery icons will display an option to enable Power
Priority Mode (with the option enabled, battery power will be prioritized
over the DC input). Enabling battery priority mode is recommended to
maximize battery run times when using Power Station and Shogun or
Ninja Assassin.
• Use the Power Station to charge the included batteries.
• Place 1 x Larger battery on to the Shogun.
• Place 2 x Small battery on the Power Station (other batteries can also
be used).
• Enable Power Priority Mode and connect the DC to DC cable between
the Power Station and the Shogun.
• When the battery on the monitor recorder is exhausted it will
automatically and seamlessly switch over to the Power Station.
• The 2 x small batteries on the Power Station will provide power to the
Shogun / Ninja Assassin to allow you to place another large battery
directly on to the monitor recorder.
• With the new battery in place the Shogun will switch back to using
battery power.
• By connecting the included DC to dummy battery adapter you can
add continuous power and extended run time to your camera.
The batteries on the Power Station will continue to be active with the
25% LED ashing and the other LEDs showing you the remaining
battery capacity).
The Shogun may be powered from NiMH & Li Ion 14.4V battery
systems. Battery adapter required such as the Atomos battery plate
or D-Tap adapter.
