3. As shown in the illustration, battery holder
should be inserted into the grip; depressing the
same will insure firm locking. Confirm that the
unit is securely locked into position.
4. Once batteries are properly in place within the
grip, the LCD indicator will appear in the LCD
window as illustrated. Should the LCD fail to
appear, batteries are exhausted or are improperly
inserted or the grip is not securely attached to
the body.
5. A common battery source is used for LCD
display and motor drive. For battery check,
confirm the motor drive function which is
affected earlier than that of LCD display.
Precautions
• Make sure that polarities of all the batteries
are properly aligned. Incorrect polarity
alignment may cause unexpected damage to
your equipment.
• Replace all batteries at the same time. Do not
mix battery brands, types or old batteries with
new ones.
• Remove batteries when not using your equipment
for a long time. Batteries may tend to leak if left
too long in your equipment and may cause
serious damage.
• Never throw used batteries into fire since they
may explode, causing unexpected damage or
injury to you.
• Store batteries in a cool place, and out of reach
of children.
• Batteries are very sensitive to cold and
performance tends to deteriorate at temperatures
near freezing point. Performance is restored as
soon as batteries are brought back to room
temperature. Keep a set of batteries in a warm
pocket when shooting in cold weather to
substitute if the others no longer perform well.
Be sure to turn off the main switch to avoid
unexpected battery drain, when putting your
camera into a bag.
