To remove the battery, press the safety lock release button and slide the battery upwards off the plate.

Powering Your Device

Once a charged V-lock battery is securely attached, the integrated BP-U dummy battery will automatically provide 14.4V output to your compatible camcorder. Ensure your camcorder is correctly connected and powered on.

Maintenance

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the adapter to strong impacts, which could damage internal components.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the unit, as this will void the warranty and could cause malfunction.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the V-lock battery is fully charged and properly seated on the V-mount plate.
• Verify that your camcorder is compatible with BP-U type batteries and the adapter's output voltage.
• Check for any visible damage to the adapter, dummy battery, or connecting cables.

Loose Connection
