Important Notes
- Always charge the R1 using the original USB-C cable and power supply that came with the camera. Using different cables or power supplies may prevent the battery from charging.
- Battery Storage & Maintenance: To help maximize battery life and performance, charge all batteries fully upon receipt. If a battery will not be used regularly, we recommend recharging it at least once every 4 months. Batteries stored at very low charge levels for extended periods may become depleted below the safe charging threshold and may no longer be recognized by the charger.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I hot swap the R1 Battery?
A:
While the R1 features a quick-release battery, it cannot be hot-swapped (i.e. replaced while the system is powered on). To change the R1 battery you must turn off the system first before switching the battery.
Q: Can I use the Theta X on the R1 independently?
A:
For the PLANIX Pro, the Theta Z1 could be detached from the system unit and used as a standalone camera with the Ricoh Theta app. However, with the PLANIX R1, the Theta X is fully integrated into the system. It is neither user-replaceable nor removable. If a replacement is needed, please send the system to us for servicing by opening a support ticket.
