2.3 PRODUCT ORDERING INFORMATION

Midori™UDC3 www.ushio.com8
The UDC3 unit’s internal LED operates on 2 rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries.
When new or fully charged batteries are installed, the battery capacity is ~80
minutes at full intensity and ~110 minutes at 75% intensity of continuous operation.
Battery Installation
1. At the bottom of the UDC3’s battery hatch door, rotate the locking knob
counterclockwise until the line on the knob is pointing 90° from the indentation
mark on the hatch. Remove the hatch. Refer to figure 2.
2. Insert the batteries into the unit using the battery symbol orientation as
a guide. The negative terminal of each battery should be in contact with the
spring on each circuit board, refer to figure 3. Attach the hatch door then rotate
the locking knob clockwise until the line on the knob is pointing toward the
indentation mark.
Note: For added safety,the battery hatch door may only be inserted into
the UDC3 body in one direction. If the door does not easily slide into
the case, rotate the hatch door 180°. This ensures the battery polarity
cannot be reversed.
To remove batteries, rotate the battery hatch door knob counterclockwise a quarter
turn until it stops, remove the door and allow the batteries to slide out.
