Getting Started
Plugging in Power
Getting started with your video assist is as simple as plugging in power, connecting your video
source, plugging in your audio and inserting an SD card.
To supply power, plug in the supplied power adapter to your video assist’s power input on
the right side panel.
With external power connected, you can also charge two LP-E6 type Lithium-Ion batteries,
which can be mounted to battery slots 1 and 2 on the back panel. To plug an LP-E6 type battery
into your video assist, gently press the battery against the inside top edge of the battery slot,
then slide the battery down against the back panel until you feel it click and lock into place.
Press the battery release button on the top panel to remove a battery. For more information
on battery use and how to monitor the battery power remaining, refer to the ‘settings’ section in
this manual.
To power on the unit, press the power button on the right side panel. Press and hold
to power off.
Connect external power to the +12V power input.
Press the power button to turn the unit on.
