CARRYING STRAP
The carrying strap is attached by firstly withdrawing the
safety collar. The hook is then freed and can be attached to
the strap lug. Slide back the safety collar to ensure the hook
remains in the locked position between the small protruding
lugs. The collar is purposely a tight fit to avoid unintention-
ally slipping back and therefore might need some effort to
slide.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY GRIP
The environmentally approved Battery grip Li-ion (3043356)
is the standard power source for the H5D camera. The H5D
requires a power supply for all actions as there is no me-
chanical reserve facility. When working untethered, it is
therefore advisable to keep a reserve rechargeable battery
grip at hand. As is the case with most batteries, problems
might be encountered when used in very low temperatures.
In this situation it is advisable to keep the reserve battery
in an inside pocket, for example, to maintain it near body
temperature (both sorts of battery grips are referred to as
the ‘battery’ in this manual).
FITTING AND REMOVING A BATTERY
The fitting and removing procedure is the same for both
types of battery grip.
Remove the battery from the camera by depressing the bat-
tery holder button (A) and simultaneously swinging the bat-
tery holder retaining lever (B) down until it stops. Pull the
battery downwards (C).
If you intend to store the battery separately from the camera
you should ensure that the safety cover is in place (to pre-
vent short-circuiting). It snaps into place and is removed by
pulling outwards and upwards on the locking clip.
To fit, hold the battery flat against the camera body and
aligning the two upper lugs with the slot, slide it back into
position as far as it will go. Swing back the battery holder
retaining lever until it clicks back into place.

BATTERY CHARGER
The battery charger is supplied with a number of plug at-
tachments to suit various types of domestic electrical sock-
ets available worldwide. Other types of socket will require a
domestic socket converter.
Attach the chosen plug by sliding it into position as in the
diagram. Removal is by the reverse procedure.
Please note that the Battery charger Li-ion 2900 (3053572)
is designed for use with Battery grip Li-ion 2900 (3043356)
but can also be used together with the Battery grip re-
chargeable 7.2V Li-Ion (3043348) intended for H4D use.
Likewise, the older Battery charger for Li-Ion battery
(3053568) also can also be used together with the Battery
grip Li-ion 2900 (3043356) but requires 50% longer charg-
ing times.
