Precautions

1. 

The BG-C16 should be used only with the compatible 
devices specified in this manual.

2. 

Use only with the batteries and battery holders 
recommended in this manual.

3. 

Cover the power terminals with the contact cap 
when the BG-C16 is not in use. This prevents 
electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching 
the power terminals.

4. 

When the battery holder is removed from the 
grip, remove the batteries or place the holder in 
a container to prevent electrical shorts caused by 
contact with other metal objects.

5. 

If you notice smoke, an unusual smell, or noise from 
the battery pack, discontinue use immediately. 
Remove the batteries, and take the device to a Vello 
authorized reseller.

6. 

Turn the grip power off when not shooting vertically.

7. 

The battery level may not display properly if batteries 
are inserted before mounting the grip.

8. 

Remove batteries from the grip when not in use.

9. 

Do not attempt to disassemble.

10. 

Avoid water or extreme humidity, and keep in a dry 
and cool place.

11. 

Keep out of reach of children.

12.
