With dry hands, slide a fully charged battery onto the bat-
tery dock on the back of the DVDPak.
Figure 6 – Battery Installed
Make sure that the battery locks onto the dock. See the
Battery Charger operator's manual for more information.
Batteries supplied for the DVDPak are rated at 2.2 amp-
hours. When fully charged, depending on use (recording
time, etc.) the DVDPak will run for approximately 2.5 to 3
hours. Battery Status LEDʼs indicate battery charge level
(Figure 7). See Battery Status LEDs Chart.

Outlet Power
For plug in operation, a double insulated AC/DC power
supply is supplied to reduce wall outlet voltage to the cor-
rect voltage for the DVDPak.
The external power supply is intended for in-
door use only.
NOTICE
To power the system up with the power cord, locate
the power supply. The power supply cord has two sec-
tions, one of which plugs into a standard 110-120V two-
bladed outlet (US) at one end and plugs into a power
supply at the other end. The second section runs from
the power supply to the back of the DVDPak and plugs
into the jack marked 40 Watts—14-16V at the far right
side of the back of the unit (Figure 8).
Figure 8 – Connected External Power Supply
With dry hands, connect the two sections together and in-
sert the jack plug into the jack on the back of the DVDPak.
Route the cord along a clear path and with dry hands plug
the power supply into a matching outlet. If using an ex-
tension cord ensure it is of adequate wire gauge. For
cords of 25 feet, a minimum gauge of 18AWG is re-
quired. For cords greater than 25 feet, a minimum gauge
of 16 AWG is required.
Once connections are in place and batteries installed (if
