Rebel T3 SLR Camera

USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations

on your new BG-C7 battery 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-C7 is compatible with the Canon T3

DSLR camera. The BG-C7 accepts up to two Canon

LP-E10 rechargeable batteries. The BG-C7 is equipped

with an alternate shutter-release button that triggers

the camera via the included shutter release cable for

shooting in a vertical position.

Please read through this

entire manual before using the

BG-C7 battery grip.

Precautions

1. The BG-C7 should only be used with compatible

devices specified in this manual.

2. Only use with batteries recommended in this

manual.

3. Cover the power terminals with the contact cap

when the BG-C7 is not in use. This prevents

electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching

the power terminals.

4. 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.

5. The BG-C7 does not have a power switch.

Instead, use the camera power switch to turn the

power on or off.

6. The battery level may not display properly if

batteries are inserted before mounting the grip.

7. Remove batteries from the grip when not in use.

8. Do not attempt to disassemble.

9. Avoid water or extreme humidity and keep in a

dry and cool place.

10. Keep out of reach of children.
