PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6)
Battery (NP-1 type)
About power supply
The PD-6 is powered either by a battery which allows the unit to be used outside, or by the AC
adaptor (Fostex Model AD-15C, optional).
Make sure that the PD-6 power switch is set to “OFF” when changing a battery or when disconnect the AC
adaptor from the unit. The unit continuously accesses data when the power is on, therefore, the memory
contents may be reset by the sudden power interruption.
About battery
No battery is supplied with the PD-6.
We recommend to use the IDX NP-L50, IDX NP23, Sony NP-1 or equivalent for the
battery of the PD-6. Typically 2-hour recording is possible using the fully charged
IDX NP-L50 (note that the recordable time may vary depending on temperature or
other condition).
When charging a battery, charge to its full potential.
The PD-6 does not provide the battery charging function.
• Charging the battery
Normally, a battery is not charged when shipped, therefore, you must charge it before
using. Refer to the instruction of the battery you purchased for details about how to
charge it.
• Installing the battery
Insert a battery into the battery compartment firmly from the open end on the left
side panel, with the battery terminals inside, until the battery is locked.
To run the unit on the installed battery, set the [POWER SEL] switch on the right side
panel to “INT”. Also set the “warning voltage of the battery” menu in the Setup mode
properly after turning on the power (see page 97 for details).
