Rechargeable battery grip – precautions
The following precautions should be followed:
• Connect the battery grip to the camera correctly.
• Keep the protective cover in place when not in use. (Short-circuiting across keys in a pocket, for example,
could cause a fire risk).
• Do not use the battery grip for anything other than an H1/H1D/H2/H2D camera.
• Do not immerse the battery grip in liquids.
• Do not incinerate the battery grip. Please recycle or discard in an environmentally approved manner.
• Do not use any other charger than the Hasselblad battery charger BC-H Li-ion 7.2 VDC (3053568).
Battery charger BC-H Li-ion 7.2 VDC:
• Read the instructions before using the charger.
• Use indoors only (protect against moisture).
• Do not use charger for anything else than charging of Battery grip rechargeable 7.2 V (3043348).
• Do not short-circuit the jack plug.
• Do not alter the charger in any way other than changing the plug attachment.
Reserve lithium-battery grip (31 and 39 Mpixel models only) 9, 10
The reserve lithium-battery grip is attached and removed in the same manner as the
rechargeable grip.
Press the red battery cassette retaining button inwards on the holder to release the battery
cassette (fig 9). Load three CR-123 lithium (or equivalent) into the cassette, ensuring the
polarity of each battery is correctly oriented (see the ‘+’ markings on the batteries and
the cassette) (fig 10, 11). Re-insert the cassette into the battery holder, ensuring that it is
seated properly in place and that the red button returns fully into the locked position.
Holding the battery flat against the camera body and aligning the two upper lugs with the
slot, slide it back into position as far as it will go. Swing back the battery holder retaining
lever as far as it will go into the locked position.
Do not use a lithium-battery grip with the 50 Mpixel model.
Battery life 11, 12, 13, 14
Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly
predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of standby for long periods, for
example, then the battery will become exhausted much faster.
A low camera battery state is indicated by a symbol on the grip display (fig. 11) as well as
on the digital capture unit display (fig. 12). In addition, an audible signal can be heard.
The warning on the display (fig. 12) appears as a flashing yellow icon in the top right of
the screen signifying that the battery should be charged (or changed) as soon as possible.
The warning icon will also appear with a FireWire connection and will in addition turn
red to signify that the camera battery is completely exhausted.
Another battery warning also appears signifying ImageBank-II battery exhaustion (fig.
13). This icon appears on the top left of the display screen. It too flashes yellow as the
initial warning and changes to red to signify complete exhaustion.
When the battery is almost completely exhausted, a warning message ‘Replace battery’
will appear on the grip display (fig. 14).
When the ‘Low battery’ icon appears, the camera automatically enters a temporary
power-saving mode. This is recognizable by a slower pace for all the actions in a capture
sequence. The camera actions also sound differently .
This mode is designed so that you can continue working for a while, even though the
power remaining in the battery is too low for working in the normal manner. Naturally,
you should replace the battery as soon as possible to restore normal action again.
