this product before operating. Failure to operate the product correctly can result in damage to the product, personal property, and cause serious injury. This is a sophisticated product. It must be operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in injury or damage to the product or other property.

This product is not intended for use by children without direct adult supervision. Do not use with incompatible components or alter this product in any way outside of the documents provided by SZ DJI TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. These Safety Guidelines contain instructions for safety, operation and maintenance. It is essential to read and follow all of the instructions and warnings in the user manual, prior to assembly, setup or use, in order to operate the product correctly and avoid damage or serious injury.

To avoid re, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following safety guidelines

when using, charging, or storing the grip.

Grip Use

1. DO NOT allow the grip to come into contact with any kind of liquid. DO NOT leave the grip out in the rain or near a source of moisture. DO NOT drop the grip into water. If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur,

potentially resulting in the battery catching on re, and may even lead to an explosion.

2. If the grip falls into water by accident, put it in a safe and open area immediately. Maintain a safe distance from the grip until it is completely dry. DO NOT use the grip again, and dispose of the grip properly as described in the Grip Disposal section.

3. Put out any re using water, sand, re blanket, or a dry powder re extinguisher.

4. DO NOT use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.dji.com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no responsibility for any damage caused by non-DJI batteries.

5. DO NOT use or charge a swollen, leaky, or damaged grip. If the grip is abnormal, contact DJI or a DJI authorized dealer for further assistance.

6. The grip should be used in temperatures from -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F). Use of the grip in

environments above 50° C (122° F) can lead to a re or explosion. Use of grip below -10° C

(14° F) can lead to permanent damage.

7. DO NOT use the grip in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, the battery control board may malfunction.

8. DO NOT disassemble or pierce the grip in any way or the battery may leak, ignite, or explode.

9. DO NOT drop or strike batteries. DO NOT place heavy objects on the grip.

10. Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your

skin or eyes, immediately wash the aected area with fresh running water for at least 15

minutes, and then see a doctor immediately.

11. DO NOT use the grip if dropped.

12. DO NOT heat batteries. DO NOT put the grip in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.

13. DO NOT manually short-circuit the grip.

14. Clean grip terminals with a clean, dry cloth.

Grip Charging

1. DO NOT leave the grip unattended during charging. DO NOT charge the grip near

ammable materials or on ammable surfaces such as carpet or wood.

2. Charging the grip outside of the temperature range of 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F) may lead to leakage, overheating, or battery damage. The ideal charging temperature is 22° to 28° C (72° to 82° F).

Grip Storage

1. Keep the grip out of the reach of children and animals.

2. If the grip will be stored for an extended period, charge the grip until the battery level reaches between 30% and 50%.

3. DO NOT leave the grip near heat sources such as a furnace or heater. DO NOT leave the grip inside of a vehicle on hot days. The ideal storage temperature is 22° to 28° C (72° to 82° F).

4. Keep the grip dry.

Grip Maintenance

1. DO NOT use the grip when the temperature is too high or too low.

2. DO NOT store the battery in environments with a temperature higher than 45° C (113° F) or lower than 0° C (32° F).

Travel Notice

1. Before carrying the grip on an airline ight, it must rst be discharged until the battery level is lower than 30%. Only discharge the grip in a reproof location and store the grip in a

ventilated location.

2. Keep the grip away from metal objects such as glasses, watches, jewelry, and hairpins.

3. DO NOT transport a damaged grip or a grip with battery level higher than 30%.

Grip Disposal

Dispose of the grip in specic recycling boxes only after a complete discharge. DO NOT place

the grip in regular trash containers. Strictly follow your local regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of batteries.

Grip Use

1. Make sure the grip is fully charged before use.

2. If a low-battery warning appears, charge the grip as soon as possible.

Grip Charging

1. The grip is designed to stop charging when it is full. It is good practice, however, to monitor the charging progress and disconnect the grip when fully charged.

Grip Storage

1. Discharge the grip to 40%-65% if it will not be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life.

2. If the grip is stored for an extended period and the battery is depleted, the grip will enter sleep mode. Recharge the grip to exit sleep mode.

3. Remove the grip from the gimbal when stored for an extended period.

Grip Maintenance

1. Battery life may be reduced if not used for an extended period.

2. Discharge and charge the grip completely once every three months to keep it in good condition.
