POWER OPERATIONS

NOTE: Modules and lens mounts are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot remove or install these items
while the camera is turned on. Before installing or removing these items, you MUST turn off the camera. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the item or camera that is not covered under warranty.
WARNING: While third-party batteries may be mechanically compatible with the camera system, the manufacturer is
responsible for the performance and stability of third-party options, not RED

. Damage to the camera system or third-
party devices caused by using third-party power options is not covered under warranty. The camera may be unable to
determine and display the voltage or remaining battery capacity of third-party power options.
