Precautions

1. 

The BG-N

1

 should only be used with compatible 

devices specified in this manual.

2. 

Only use with batteries and battery holders 
recommended in this manual. The BG-N

1

 can 

not be used with Nikon EN-EL3a/EN-EL3 Li-ion 
batteries or other battery holders.

3. 

Cover the power terminals with the contact cap 
when the BG-N

1

  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. 

The memory card access lamp may light up when 
the BG-N

1

 is mounted or removed from the 

camera. This is part of the normal operation. 

6. 

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.

7. 

The BG-N

1

 does not have a power switch. 

Instead, use the camera power switch to turn the 
power on or off.

8. 

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

9. 

Remove batteries from the grip when not in use. 

10. 

 Do not attempt to disassemble.

11. 

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

12. 

 Keep out of reach of children.
