Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 User Manual

 

 

 

 

 

1.  Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible.  

Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature 
failure of NiMH batteries: 

a.  Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature.  In warm 

climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are 
maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance.  

b.  On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or 

out in direct sunlight unnecessarily. 

c.  Storage - If batteries are not going to be used for several months, 

they should be fully discharged, sealed in a plastic bag and 
stored in a refrigerator. 

2.  Use only Anton/Bauer Logic Series InterActive LifeSaver Chargers 

and keep batteries on the charger until just prior to being used. 

3.  Return batteries to the Logic Series InterActive Charger as soon as 

possible after use, preferably within 24 hours. 

4.  Do not over-discharge batteries - It is quite proper to discharge a battery 

until a low voltage warning in the camera or VTR is observed.  However, 
a switch to a fresh battery should occur as soon as possible following such 
indication. 

 

a.  A HyTRON battery should be changed as soon as possible after a  

"flashing  ‘RES’  segment" is indicated.  Never continue to use a 
HyTRON battery after the “EOD” segment has appeared. 

b.  Never leave a battery operated device unattended while it is 

running. 

c.  DO NOT LEAVE A BATTERY ATTACHED TO A 

CAMERA/CAMCORDER during transit or storage.  “Keep warm” 
circuitry in the camera can overdischarge the battery.
