Thank you for your choice in purchasing a Switronix Product. The all aluminum JetPack X has all the standard Jetpack features but adds a built-in
battery backup capable of withstanding a 200w load for up to 5 minutes when batteries are not connected. The JPX feature three LEMO outputs
(5v, 7v, 12v), a USB power connection, and 2 unregulated powertaps all backed up, on either a V or 3-Stud mount plate configuration. The JPX adds
a 2-pin Amp connector power connection which can connect directly to ENG cameras behind the included cheese plate.

In addition to the cheese plate, the JPX has three 1/4-20 mounts on the bottom(one centered, one set 18mm apart for rail mounts), and
an X-Mod mount plate which can attach the JPX to any V-mount and 3-Stud hole pattern(cameras, battery mount plates, rail
mount cheese plates).

**The JetPack will charge an iPad but slower then the Apple brand charger.
You will see "Not Charging" on the iPad screen, but that just means 2.1A of current is not being supplied to the device.

Jetpack X Operation: It is recommend to turn the Jetpack X power switch ON when beginning use. Power will route through to the

powertaps and battery plate output cable (1B LEMO, BMCC Pin, XLR) , but you can not utilize battery backup unless the JPX is ON prior to usage.
Once a the JPX is on power is available to the battery plate output cable (1B LEMO, BMCC Pin, XLR) and two battery plate power taps as well as
the smaller LEMO outputs on the side and USB.

The Side LED panel of the JPX has 4 LEDs indicating the following;

- POWER: Power switch is activated, unit is ON, battery backup is available

- CHARGE: Should external power be connected(battery on mount plate or 2B external power), the
internal 20w battery will be charging

- BACKUP: The Jetpack X is supplying power to all devices via the battery backup power

-LOW BATT: The indicator will illuminate when the battery pack connected is under 12v and should be
changed. This DOES NOT INDICATE low battery backup! Their is no visible indication of LOW BATTERY
BACKUP.

The JETPACK X only draw the battery source connected unless no power source is connected and will automatically switch to battery backup. When
a battery source is connected, the unit will concurrently charge the internal battery. If the CHARGE LED goes out, that means the internal battery is
fully charged. This doesn’t happen often as their is a trickle charge program for the battery, so often the JPX will draw a very small current
(under 1/5th of a watt) from the battery pack connected to maintain the internal battery.

Mounting the Jetpack:

1/4-20 Option: RED DSMC users can purchase a Wooden Camera Quick Back and attach it to the back of the Jetpack X. This provides

a simple, elegant mounting platform on the back of your RED Scarlet/EPIC. The JPX’s aluminum case has three 1/4-20
threads mounts on the bottom for mounting it vertical. You can also utilize the
cheesplate for additional mount points. Screw hardware is included to attach the
cheeseplate to the rear of the Jetpack X.

X-MT Plate Option: The Jetpack X will mount to any camera or
rail mount plate which has standard V-mt or 3-Stud hole patterns
with the included X-MT plate. Once you attach the X-MT plate to
your device or plate backing, align the 4 posts of the X-MT plate
to the back of the JPX, and push downward until the 1/4-20
thumbscrew on the JPX is aligned with the X-MT plate. Thereafter screw the thumbscrew clockwise
to tie down the JPX to the X-MT Plate.

ENG Camera Option(Panasonic, JVC, AJA CION): After mounting
the X-MT plate to the rear of the ENG Camera,
connect the 2-pin AMP connector to the camera and then align
and tie-down JPX(as stated in X-MT Option).

RECON X5 Daisy Chain Mounting: The RECON X5 wireless Transmitter works
with the X-MT system. Mount the modular Recon X5 to the camera via the X-MT
plate option, then attach an additional X-MT Plate directly to the front of the
Recon X5 module. Connect the AMP power connection together prior to
aligning and tie down of the JPX.
