• Battery Insertion: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly, aligning the notch with the triangular mark, and that the orange indication marks are not visible. Improper insertion can prevent charging or damage the battery/case.
• Flammable Materials: Never charge batteries near flammable or inflammable materials.
• Overcharging Prevention: When using an external power source (wall outlet or power bank), disconnect the Utility Fast Charge Case once the batteries are fully charged.
• Charging Points: Avoid touching the Utility Fast Charge Case charging points directly.
• External Device Charging Capacity: If the external device being charged has a larger power capacity than the inserted battery/batteries, it may not fully charge without the case being connected to a wall outlet.
• Simultaneous Charging Power: For safety, charging power is reduced when charging both batteries and an Insta360 X5 simultaneously via the case. For quicker charging of the X5, connect an external power source directly to the camera.
• Adapter Compatibility: 12V⎓3A, 9V⎓3A, and 5V⎓3A adapters are recommended for use with the Utility Fast Charge Case.
