Introduction

Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations

on your new BG-N1battery grip purchase. Enjoy

the many benefits that a battery grip offers, such as

extended shooting time and more control and comfort

when shooting in a vertical (portrait) orientation.

The Vello BG-N1is compatible with the Nikon

D300, D300s and D700 DSLR cameras. The BG-N1

accepts one Nikon EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, or EN-EL4

rechargeable battery, in addition to the camera’s

internal battery. Eight AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH,

lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used instead for

added convenience. The BG-N1is equipped with an

alternate shutter-release button, AF-ON button, multi

selector, and main and sub-command dials for shooting

in a vertical position. Please read through this entire manual before using the

BG-N1battery grip.

Precautions

1. The BG-N1should only be used with compatible

devices specified in this manual.

2. Only use with batteries and battery holders

recommended in this manual. The BG-N1can

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-N1is 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-N1is 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-N1does 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.
