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 using the XT Camera.
Charge the batteries indoors
Only charge the batteries indoors (and away from moisture) at ambient
temperatures between 5–35 Celsius (41-95 Fahrenheit).
Remove batteries when not in use
Never leave the battery in the charger for an extensive period of time. When
charging is complete, remove the battery and unplug the charger from power
outlet. When the battery is left in the XT Camera a small amount of current is
drawn, resulting in accelerated discharge and shorter battery life. Remove the
batteries when not in use.
Only use approved batteries
Use only 7.2 V BP-915 type batteries. Capacity in excess of 3300 mAh is
recommended. Some third party batteries may not fit into the IQ4’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.
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 IQ4 when shooting tethered to a computer via a
Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C connection. Please read the Power Connections
chapter for more information.
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 the XT Camera System On and O
Powering up the XT Camera is achieved with a short press of the On/O but-
ton on the back of the IQ4. A long press of the same button will power o the
XT.
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.
NOTE:
There can be a low number of shutter actuations reported on a brand new XT Camera
Body. This is normal behavior as the shutter mechanism has been tested during final
quality check procedures. The shutter count on a new XT Camera Body should never
exceed 99.
