Primary Battery Pack
Primary batteries are suitable for ocassional or back-up use. The primary packs
are designed to power an Argus
1
3 camera for over 1.5 hours if fitted with new
batteries. The batteries used in the primary battery pack are AA size.
It is recommended that type LR6 batteries be used, as these are essential to
achieve the specified battery life. LR6 indicates an alkaline manganese battery,
which can supply the power requirements of the Argus
1
3. Labels such as ’long
life’ or ’super power’ are manufacturers’ titles and do not necessarily imply LR6.
It recommended that all 8 batteries in a set be changed simultaneously.
The operating life of LR6 batteries varies greatly between manufacturers and is
temperature dependent. e2v technologies recommend the use of rechargeable
systems at ambient temperatures of 5
8
C (41
8
F) or less.
Battery replacement
Open the pack by pressing the two clips inwards and pulling. Remove the old
batteries and dispose of them safely. Insert new batteries in the correct
orientation shown on the inner carrier. In order to verify the pack is ready for
use it may be tried in the camera.
Note:
Disposal of batteries should be in line with their manufacturers’
instructions.
