Setup

1. Connect Power: Insert the provided USB-C to USB-C cable into the charger's USB-C input port. Connect the other end of the cable to a compatible power adapter. It is recommended to use a power adapter with 22.5W or higher output for optimal performance. Note that 5V / 1A power adapters are not supported.
2. Insert Batteries: Carefully insert your camera batteries into the designated charging slots. The charging port features a spring structure to ensure a secure connection and prevent accidental disconnection.

Operating Instructions

Charging Batteries

Once batteries are inserted and the charger is connected to power, the charging process begins automatically. The charger's dual-slot design allows for simultaneous charging. Two batteries can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours with an appropriate power adapter.

Checking Battery Level

You can check the battery level at any time by single-clicking the button located on the charger.

LED Indicator Lights

The charger features five LED indicators per channel to display battery status:

• Idle Mode (Battery level display when not charging):
  • 0-10%: 1 red LED (steady)
  • 10-20%: 1 white LED
  • 20-40%: 2 white LEDs
  • 40-60%: 3 white LEDs
  • 60-80%: 4 white LEDs
  • 80-100%: 5 white LEDs
• Charging Mode: White LEDs flash to show the current charge level; steady white LEDs indicate the fully charged level.
• Error Mode: The first LED of both channels will flash red and white alternately if the charger is overheated. Charging will automatically resume when the temperature returns to a safe range.

Slow Charging Mode

When using a 5V / 2.4A adapter, the charger will operate in a slow-charge mode. In this mode, the device will first charge the battery in Channel 1. Once Channel 1 is fully charged, it will automatically switch to Channel 2 to continue charging.

Maintenance

• Keep the charger clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface.
• Avoid exposing the charger to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
• Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the charger yourself. Contact customer support if issues arise.

Troubleshooting

• Charger not powering on: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charger and a compatible power adapter. Verify the power adapter is functioning and provides at least 22.5W output (5V/1A adapters are not supported).
• Batteries not charging: Check that the batteries are inserted correctly into their respective slots. Confirm the power adapter meets the recommended specifications.
• Overheating warning (LEDs flashing red/white): If the charger detects overheating, it will temporarily stop charging and indicate this with flashing red and white LEDs. Disconnect the charger from power and allow it to cool down in a well-ventilated area. Charging will resume automatically once a safe temperature is reached.
• Slow charging: If charging seems slow, ensure you are using a power adapter with 22.5W or higher output. Using a 5V/2.4A adapter will result in slow charging, with Channel 1 prioritizing charging before Channel 2.

User Tips

• For optimal charging speed and efficiency, always use a power adapter with an output of 22.5W or higher.
• If you notice slow charging, check your power adapter. A 5V/2.4A adapter will engage slow-charge mode, prioritizing one battery at a time.
• Keep an eye on the LED indicators for quick status checks, especially the red LED for critically low battery levels.
• The compact size makes it easy to carry; ensure batteries are securely seated to prevent accidental disconnections during transport.
