Be careful not to allow sand, dust, or water to adhere or enter into the terminal area, digital camera, or this unit when attaching or removing this unit.

• This unit is not waterproof, so it cannot be used underwater.

• Do not subject the unit to strong shocks or vibration. Doing so may result in malfunction or damage.

• When the unit is mounted on the digital camera, do not use the shoulder strap supplied with the digital camera. Always hold both the digital camera and the unit while carrying.

• Keep the unit away from insecticide sprays and other volatile substances.

If the unit is exposed to these sprays or substances, its external case may deteriorate and/or its paint may come off.

• Do not leave the unit in contact with any items made of rubber or PVC for prolonged periods of time.

• Under no circumstances should the unit be used or stored in any of the following locations since doing so may cause trouble in operation or malfunctioning:

• In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
  Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers

• In locations with high temperatures and humidity
  Where there is vibration
  levels or where changes in temperature and humidity are acute
• Inside a vehicle
  Where there is fire

• Please also read the operating instructions of your digital camera.

• Panasonic will not be liable for any direct or indirect damages or losses resulting from operation or malfunction of this product.

• The design and specifications found in this document are subject to change without notice and may differ from the actual product.
• If the unit's fan stops due to a malfunction or error and you continue to operate the unit, video output may not be performed properly.

Cleaning

When cleaning, wipe the unit with a dry soft cloth.

• When the unit is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a well-wrung wet cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean the unit, since they may deteriorate the external case or the coating may come off.
• When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.

Accessories

• Be sure to dispose of the packaging materials in an appropriate manner after unpacking the unit.
  The following supplied accessories come attached to the unit.

Names and Functions of Components

1 HDMI connection terminal

Connects to the digital camera's HDMI connector.

2 Electrical contacts

3 Interface contacts

4 Camera attachment pins

5 Attachment screw

6 Screw hole (1/4-20 UNC)

Attaches to PL lens compatibility adapters, etc.

7 HDMI terminal

HDMI Type A output terminal.

(VIERALinkisnotsupported.)

• Use a high-speed double-shielded 4K-compatible HDMI cable (up to 2m ) that is marked with the HDMI logo when connecting to this terminal.

8 DC IN terminal

Connects to the DC power supply (battery: 12 V DC).

Pin no.	Signal
1	GND
2, 3	—
4	12 V
CASE	Frame GND

Notes on DC power supply (battery)

• Verify that the output voltage matches the unit's voltage rating before connection.
• Use a rated output current that is equal to or higher than the unit's input current rating.
• Use a shielded cable that is less than 2m in length for the DC cable connecting the unit to the DC power supply (battery).
• An inrush current is generated when the digital camera is turned on. An insufficient power supply capacity when the power is turned on may result in malfunction. We recommend using a DC power supply (battery) that can provide at least twice the power consumption value of the unit.

Verify the pin positions of the output connector of the DC power supply (battery) and the unit's DC IN terminal, and be sure to connect with the correct polarities.

Connecting +12V power to the GND terminal may result in fire or malfunction.

Names and Functions of Components (continued)

9 TC IN terminal (BNC)

Timecodes are input here.
Input a reference timecode to this terminal to synchronise the digital camera's timecode to that of external equipment.

Mounting to the Digital Camera

• Make sure that a DC power supply is not connected to the unit's DC IN terminal and that the digital camera is turned off.

(Mounting or dismounting while the power is on may result in malfunction.)

1 Remove the cover for the battery grip connector and cover for the interface unit connector on the digital camera, and remove the electrical contact and interface contact caps on the unit.

• Store the connector covers and contact caps safely to avoid loss.
• To protect the terminals, reattach the covers and caps after you finish using the unit.
