2.0 Unpacking the P65+
The suitcase contains all the necessary parts; Compact Flash card (CF
card), CCD Cleaning Kit, digital back, batteries and charger. Suitcase
and system contents may vary depending on purchase: Classic (basic
components) or Value added (everything needed).
The Software package, this manual and the LCC calibration kit are
included in the Phase One Leather binder and functions as a lid over
the utility compartment.
In the utility compartment you will nd the CF card reader, cables and
international power adaptors. In daily usage the utility compartment can
be expanded by pulling out the inside square-to-circle foam, making
the space ideal for use as camera body compartment.
Configuring the system suitcase to fit your needs
With the “Value Added” suitcase it is possible to pull out the entire foam
insert and use the supplied dividers and double sided Velcro tape to
congure your own system suitcase.
The Velcro tape can be cut out and bent around the edges of the
dividers. This makes it easy to xate these inside the suitcase.
4 dividers are supplied, use a large scissor or tool knife to cut out one
of them into three or four smaller pieces, and use these for splitting the
compartments into smaller sections.

2.1 Charging the batteries
When the system is unpacked the rst thing to do, is to charge the
batteries fully.
The Value Added Suitcase is delivered with two 7.2 volt Lithium-Ion
batteries and a duo-charger.
Only one battery is used in the P+ back at a time, but it is recommended
to charge both batteries fully before you start. While charging the
batteries, you can still use the camera back if you connect it to the
IEEE1394/FireWire port on your computer.
The battery charger can adapt to voltages within a range of 110 to 250
volts.
It comes with an international set of power adaptors (placed in the
suitcase utility compartment), please select one that ts your outlet,
and mount it by sliding it in from the top.
Connect the unit to the outlet and charge the batteries (approximately
2.5 to 3 hours).
After the rst initial charge, the batteries can be charged one at a time.
Purchasing extra batteries
The Phase One P+ back comes with two 2500mAh batteries. If you
need to purchase extra batteries
Phase One recommends Canon BP 915 (1500 to 2500 mAh).
Due to difference in the tolerances of some third party batteries, these
may not t into the digital back’s battery compartment. Do not try to
force a battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release
button it should slide in without problems.
Warning!
• Only use the Charger to charge the specied batteries
• Do not allow charger to get wet or get exposed to moisture
• Keep the Charger out of reach of children
• Once charging is completed, unplug the charger from power source
• Only use the original mains adaptor 12V DC or car lead
• Never apply excessive force when connecting or disconnecting a battery or contact plate.
• Keep all contacts clean.
• Do not force down any of the contacts.
• Do not short-circuit the contacts.
• Never store the battery connected to the charger for an extensive period of time.
• Do not expose to excessive heat or naked ame.
• Do not dismantle or carry out any alteration to the product
• Do not attempt to eat or swallow the battery
