Precautions

1. 

The BG-N17 should be used only with the compatible 
devices specified in this manual.

2. 

Use only with batteries and battery holders 
recommended in this manual. The BG-N17 cannot 
be used with other batteries or battery holders.

3. 

When the BG-N17 is not attached to the camera, 
cover the power/signal contacts with the contact 
cap. This prevents electrical shorts caused by metal 
coming into contact with the power/signal contacts.

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 glow temporarily 
when the BG-N17 is mounted or removed from the 
camera. This is part of the normal operation.

6. 

If you notice smoke, noise, or an unusual smell from 
the battery pack, discontinue use immediately. 
Remove the batteries and contact Vello Customer 
Service.

7. 

The BG-N17 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. 

In cold temperatures, batteries can discharge 
at a faster rate. Warming up a cold battery can 
recover some of its lost charge and help improve 
its performance.

11. 

Keep this device away from water or extreme 
humidity, and store it in a dry and cool place.

12. 

Keep out of reach of children.
