Operating Instructions
Charging NP-F Batteries
Once an NP-F battery is inserted and the NP-F01 is connected to a power source via its Type-C PD input, the battery will begin charging. The LED indicators will show the current charge level. Charging times vary depending on the battery capacity and charging method:
Image: Comparison of charging times for NP-F550, NP-F750, and NP-F970 batteries using different charging methods. With ZGCINE PD Fast Charge (12V/2A), an F550 charges in 1 hour 18 minutes, an F750 in 2 hours, and an F970 in 3 hours 30 minutes.
Powering External Devices
The ZGCINE NP-F01 can power external devices using its Type-C PD output, USB-A QC output, and D-Tap output when an NP-F battery is inserted.
- Type-C PD Output: Connect a USB-C to USB-C cable from the NP-F01's Type-C PD output port to your device (e.g., laptop, camera, monitor) that supports USB Power Delivery.
- USB-A QC Output: Connect a USB-A cable from the NP-F01's USB-A QC output port to your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) that supports Quick Charge.
- D-Tap Output: Connect a D-Tap cable from the NP-F01's D-Tap output port to compatible professional video equipment (e.g., monitors, lights).

Maintenance
- Keep the device clean and dry. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Use only compatible NP-F batteries and appropriate charging cables.
Troubleshooting
- Device not charging: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the NP-F01's PD input and a functional power source. Verify the power source is providing sufficient power. Check if the NP-F battery is correctly inserted.
- No power output to external devices: Confirm an NP-F battery is properly inserted and charged. Ensure the output cables are correctly connected to the appropriate ports (USB-C, USB-A, D-Tap) and that the external device is compatible with the power specifications.
- LED indicators not working: If the device is connected to power or has a charged battery inserted and the LEDs do not light up, contact customer support.
