BAT TERY GRIP
Designed for the Nikon
D500 DSLR Camera
USER’S MANUAL
Thank you for
choosing Vello.
The Vello BG-N17 is compatible with the Nikon D500
DSLR camera. The BG-N17 accepts one Nikon EN-EL15
rechargeable battery, in addition to the camera’s internal
battery. Eight AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, or lithium)
can be used instead for added convenience. The BG-N17
is equipped with alternate shutter release, control lock,
function, and AF-ON buttons, as well as a multi selector
and main and sub-command dials, for shooting in a vertical
position.
Please read through this entire manual before
using the BG -N17 battery grip.

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.
