2.1 Mounting the Pistol Grip:

The pistol grip is premounted on the camera if ordered with this option. The grip can be easily

demounted/mounted within seconds. The necessary tool (standard hex wrench) is part of scope of supply.

2.2 Change of Batteries

The camera's energy design is based on the latest LiFePO4 (nanophosphate) batteries. These cells are

far superior to the usual NiCd and NiMh batteries with respect to:

- up to > 5000 charging cycles and extreme performance even in frost

- No emission of inflammable POTASSIUM HYDRIDE GASES at high temperature

Batteries and battery packs are processed to guarantee correct polarity. Please insert them into the

shaft so that the "blank" side (contact face) points downwards. Protective class IP67 is only guaranteed

if the compartment is tightly closed.

- Do not replace batteries when in hazardous atmosphere.

The batteries are kept ready to the left and right in the battery

compartments.

The compartments can be easily opened with a coin within

seconds.

2.3 Aramid protective cover (option)

Use of the heat resistant aramid protective cover is

recommended to lower the effort of cleaning and extend the

lifetime and operating time of the camera. The camera is

additionally protected against mechanical damage and

chemicals.

Pull the protective cover over the camera and close the

Velcro fasteners. Protective covers wear out with frequent

use and can be ordered as spare parts.

The camera can be charged in the charging bay with or

without the protective cover.

Positions of keys are additionally marked in color.

The protective cover doubles the heat resistant time.
