Q: How do you change the battery
A: Hi Jmlee, Typically you need to remove the metal skirts from the base to gain access. Or loosen the bottom skirt from the base and lift them up using a bungee cord to keep them up.
Good Luck!

Q: I connect the device to the power and I get the error f5b, I need help please, I can’t charge the device.
A: F5b : Signal“CHBR2”is supplied and detected by hardware. Voltage of plus or minus side battery is more than 155V.
In rare cases, the charging-related errors F51, F52 to F5b occurred at the moment when the running brake was released due to a motor failure.There are cases where it happened. In this case, the power cables (CN14, C16) between the left and right motors and the MU DRIVER board can be disconnected one by one and tested, and the cables connected in the reverse order can be tested to determine which motor is defective
Battery Charged Voltage Over 1. The “120+” and “120-” signals are checked for the error Charged Voltage Over by the operation amplifier A8. The threshold is 4.67V. It is equal to 156V (= 4.67×100/3) as the actual battery voltage (on both plus and minus sides). 2. The detection result is sent as the error signal CHBR2 to the XCONT PCB, then CHON signal turns off and battery charging stops. This signal CHBR2 causes the error message F5b. As shown above, F5b is detected by hardware. There is similar error messages F51 and F53, which are detected by software.

Q: The device sometimes has errors with F13, F14 and F32 when changing shooting positions (small focus => large focus). The device automatically shuts down. When re-on, the device works normally.
A: Hey — those F13, F14, and F32 errors during focus changes (small to large) are typically tied to tube voltage control faults, focus relay issues, or timing mismatches in the high-voltage generator.
If i look at the codes individually instead then F13 likely cause is that the two voltage is too low or unstable during exposure, F-14 the tube voltage control fault is the likely cause an F 32 is a focus switching fault.
