General advice for the battery and charger
Charge the batteries before use
Batteries discharge when not in use. For optimum performance, charge the
batteries before the camera and IQ Digital Back are expected to be used.
Charge the batteries indoors
Only charge the batteries indoors (and away from moisture) at ambient
temperatures between 5–35 Celsius(41-95 Fahrenheit).
Continued charging
Never store the battery connected to the charger for an extensive period of
time. When charging is complete, remove the battery and unplug the charger
from power outlet.
Only use approved batteries
Use only 7.2 V BP-915 type batteries only. Capacity in excess of 3300 mAh is
recommended. Some third party batteries may not fit into the XF Camera
Body or IQ Digital Back’s battery compartment, due to dierences in the
manufacturing tolerances. Do not try to force a battery into the compartment.
When pressing the battery release button it should slide out without being
hindered. If a battery can’t be removed, levering the battery out may cause
damage. Please contact your Phase One dealer for advice.
Remove batteries when not in use
When the battery is left in the camera or the back a small amount of current is
drawn, resulting in accelerated discharge and shorter battery life. Remove the
batteries and replace the covers before storing. Dirt and fingerprints on battery
terminals may cause loose connection and corrosion. Clean the contacts with a
soft-cloth before loading the batteries.
Shooting tethered
Always keep a battery in the IQ Digital Back even when shooting tethered to a
computer via a FireWire or USB connection.
Use in foreign countries
The AC power adapter is supplied with several power plug adaptors for
international use. The power adaptor is compatible with 110 to 250 V AC
(50/60 Hz) power sources.
Only use the original power adapter or 12 V DC car adapter (supplied)
It is not recommended to use a portable voltage transformer with the battery
charger. Battery charging from a car’s 12 V electrical socket is possible but the
car battery will discharge if the engine is not running.
Powering On and O from the XF Camera Body
Powering up both the XF and the IQ simultaneously is achieved with a short
press of the On/O button located on top rear of the grip on the the XF
Camera Body. A long press of the same button will power o the XF. The IQ
Digital Back will follow and power-o automatically after a few seconds. The
XF and IQ may also powered on and o from the IQ Digital Back, using the
back’s power button.
Tip: As diagnostics are performed by the back first, powering up and shutting
down is quicker using the IQ’s power button.
NOTE:
In low temperatures, keep spare batteries
close to body temperature by storing
in an inside jacket pocket. Li-Ion type
batteries tend to lose eciency under
cold conditions.
