your digital disk camera can be operated using two different types of power supplies:
1?the supplied battery pack [pages 24 to 28]
2?the supplied ac adapter/charger (using the ac power supply from an ac power outlet) [page 29]
use only the supplied or separately sold ur-121 battery pack. use of another battery pack may damage the digital disk camera.
the supplied or separately sold ur-121 battery pack is for the exclusive use with this digital disk camera. use with a different camera may cause a fire or electric shock.
installing the clock backup battery
follow the procedure below to install the battery for backing up the date and time settings, various camera settings, and other disk information. the backup lithium battery will last approximately one year and then will require replacement (one cr2025 battery).
1 open the battery pack cover.
1 press and hold down the batt knob on the digital disk camera bottom.
2 pull the battery pack cover toward the front of the digital disk camera and then lift it up.
2 open the clock backup battery cover and install the clock backup battery.
?the clock backup battery (cr2025) is installed in the bottom of the section for the battery pack.
?wipe the battery clean with a soft, dry cloth and then install it with the positive (+) terminal facing upward.
charging the battery pack
the battery pack is not charged at the time of purchase and therefore needs to be charged before use. always use the supplied ac adapter/charger to recharge the battery pack.
follow the procedure below to charge the supplied battery pack or a new ur-121 battery pack used for the first time, or to recharge a battery pack that has become low in charge.
1 remove the protective cover from the battery pack.
3 insert the supplied power cord into the socket on the ac adapter/charger.
?insert the power cord straight and until it is fully seated.
4 plug the power cord into a power outlet (ac 100 to 240 v).
?charging will start automatically.
?during charging, the battery charge lamp will light red.
?charging will take approximately 120 minutes.
?when charging is completed, the battery charge lamp will turn off.
recharge the battery pack just before use or on the day before use. if charged and left unused, the charge will slowly leak reducing the time the battery pack can be used.
avoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. it is recommended to store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged.
if the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to be recharged again. to avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five minutes every six months.
5 when the battery charge lamp turns off, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
6 remove the battery pack from the ac adapter/charger.
?if you are not going to attach the battery pack to the digital disk camera right away, then place it in its protective cover.
you can use the digital disk camera with the ac power supply even while charging (see page 29). in this situation, charging is stopped automatically and ac power is supplied to the digital disk camera. when the digital disk camera is turned off, charging is resumed.
?during charging, the battery pack and ac adapter/charger will become warm. this is not a malfunction.
if noise is received by a radio or television during charging
1?perform the charging in a location away from the radio or television.
ambient temperature during charging
1?the ambient temperature during charging should be kept between 10 and 35oc. if the temperature drops below 10oc, the characteristics of the battery pack may not allow it to become fully charged.
recharge the battery pack before use in the situations given below
1?if the battery pack has not been used for a long period of time.
2?if the battery pack is new and is being used for the first time.
the battery charge and ac adapter lamps
the battery charge and ac adapter lamps allow you to check the condition of the battery pack and ac adapter/charger. if either of the lamps begins flashing, it indicates a problem. refer to the table below to check and remedy the problem.
if the battery charge lamp does not turn off
if more than 150 minutes have elapsed since charging was begun and the battery charge lamp does not turn off, there is a malfunction. if this occurs, immediately stop charging and contact the place of purchase.
installing the battery pack
1 open the battery pack cover.
1press and hold down the batt knob on the digital disk camera bottom.
2pull the battery pack cover toward the front of the digital disk camera and then lift it up.
2 attach the charged battery pack to the battery pack mating area.
1 orient the battery pack as shown in the figure below, align the edges of the battery pack and the battery pack mating area, and insert the battery pack in the battery pack mating area.
2 push in the direction of the arrow.
3 close the battery pack cover.
1 close the battery pack cover.
2 push it towards the back of the digital disk camera until it is secured in place.
removing the battery pack
before removing the battery pack, be sure to turn off the digital disk camera. removing the battery pack while the power is still on may damage the digital disk camera or data on the disk.
1 if the digital disk camera is turned on, turn it off (see page 35).
?press the power button for more than one second.
?when the power is turned off, the displays on the mode display panel and lcd monitor (or viewfinder) turn off.
2 open the battery pack cover.
1 press and hold down the batt knob on the digital disk camera bottom.
2 pull the battery pack cover toward the front of the digital disk camera and then lift it up.
3 remove the battery pack.
?1 slide the battery pack toward the front of the digital disk camera and lift it upward. (be careful not to drop the battery pack when removing it.)
?2 immediately after use, wait a few minutes before removing the battery pack because it may still be hot.
using the ac power supply
use the supplied ac adapter/charger to operate the digital disk camera with an ac power supply (by connecting to a power outlet).
the ac adapter/charger is for exclusive use with this digital disk camera (idc-1000zex, idc-1000ze, idc-1000zu). do not use it with any other device.
if the ac adapter lamp is flashing, there is likely a problem with the ac adapter/charger. if it is flashing, immediately unplug the power cord from the power outlet and contact the place of purchase (see page 26).
1 insert the supplied power cord into the socket on the ac adapter/charger.
?insert the power cord straight and until it is fully seated.
2 plug the dc cord into the dc in terminal on the digital disk camera.
3 plug the power cord into a power outlet (ac 100 to 240 v).
4 turn on the digital disk camera (see page 32).
?when the digital disk camera is turned on, the green ac adapter lamp turns on.
?if charging is being performed at this time, charging is stopped automatically and ac power is supplied to the digital disk camera. (the red battery charge lamp turns off and the green ac adapter lamp turns on.)
