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. 7
