    Our Varicam 27v Backup battery died. Has anyone replaced a CR2032 in one of these before? Anything to worry about before doing so?

    Thanks!

    You might want to ask over at the Varicam forum Michael.
    You’ll probably have much better luck finding an answer.

    Hi Michael,

    Replacing backup battery is quite simple procedure. If you are technicaly inclined you can do it by yourself by openning operator side of the camera and you’ll see battery in lower right corner of that panel.
    It is standard battery and available in RadioShack stores.
    Do not force anything and replacement should go smoothly. You will just have to set a time and date on the camera after replacing old battery.
    If you do not feel comfortable doing that please bring camera to camera repair center or contact me for instructions.

    We are waiting for a PA to fax us a section out of the manual from the office.

    I figured to be safe, I didn’t want to want to poke around without asking. That’s all we need, a broken V.27 on our hands. We are getting some wonderful images today.

    Mariusz, If we have an issue as in the PA screws up that fax, I will email you. Or call in the morning with the number you posted if that’s alright with you?

    Mariusz, even though the settings are backed up, will the V27 reset on all levels?

    Again, Mariusz thanks for responding so quickly.
