Frequently Asked Questions - NP-FP71 Watson

How should I charge the Watson NP-FP71 battery?

Charge using your camcorder or digital camera's charger. Read your device manual for specific charging instructions. The battery pack should be fully charged before first use.

What is the ideal storage condition for the battery?

Store in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15°C (59°F). The battery should be at approximately 40% charge for long-term storage. You may store it in a refrigerator but not a freezer.

What is the operating temperature range?

The battery can be used between -10°C and 40°C (15°F to 105°F). Using at very high temperatures may activate the safety circuit.

How do I clean the battery terminals?

Clean the battery and terminals with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

What should I do if the battery gets warm during use or charging?

The battery may become warm during use or charging; this is normal.

What safety features does the battery have?

The battery has an internal self-resetting fuse for protection against short circuits. However, avoid short circuiting as it can still cause severe damage.

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

Run time depends on power demand. Manufacturer run times are from lab tests; real-life usage (zoom, autofocus, playback) reduces run time. Replace battery when operation time shortens noticeably.

Is the battery covered by a warranty?

Yes, Watson offers a one-year limited warranty from original purchase date against defects in materials and workmanship. For details, visit www.poweredbywatson.com or call 212-594-2353.

Can I use this battery in extreme temperatures?

Do not use below -10°C or above 40°C. Extreme temperatures can damage the battery or activate the safety circuit.

What should I do with the battery if I don't use it for a long time?

Remove from device, charge to approximately 40%, and store in a cool, dry place at about 15°C. Do not fully charge or fully discharge for storage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

- Charge the battery pack before use. Read your camcorder or digital camera manual for charging instructions.

- When not in use, remove the battery pack from its device and store in a cool, dry place.

- Do not short circuit the terminals. This battery is protected with an internal self-resetting fuse, but short circuits may still cause severe damage to the battery. Be careful where you set the battery down.

• Under no circumstance attempt to open the battery case.
- Do not expose the battery to rain or moisture.

- Keep away from fire. Do not incinerate. Battery may explode in the presence of fire.

- Do not drop battery or expose it to strong shocks.

- Do not use at temperatures below 15°F (-10°C) or above 105°F (40°C). Use of the battery at very high temperatures will activate a safety circuit, disallowing use.

- Running time depends on the power demanded. Stated manufacturer run times are developed in simple laboratory tests of non-stop recording. Real-life use of zoom, automatic focus, tape review, etc., all demand extra power and shorten run time.

TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE

• Make sure the battery is fully charged before use.
- Clean the battery and terminals with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
• The battery may be warm during use on recharging. This is normal.
