3. Setup u Konnessjoni
Follow these steps to set up your Andoer D-Tap to Dual-Sided NP-F Dummy Battery Power Adapter:
- Qabbad mas-Sors tal-Enerġija: Insert the D-Tap connector of the coiled cable into a compatible D-Tap output port on a V-mount battery or power distribution plate. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect to NP-F Devices: Insert the dual-sided NP-F dummy battery adapter into the NP-F battery slot of your monitor, wireless receiver, LED video light, or microphone. The adapter can power two NP-F compatible devices simultaneously.
- Connect to Camera (DMW-DCC17):
- Connect the Type-C end of the DMW-DCC17 dummy battery cable to the Type-C output port on the NP-F adapter.
- Insert the DMW-DCC17 dummy battery into the battery compartment of your compatible camera.
- Close the camera's battery door, ensuring the cable passes through any designated cable exit.
- Connect Additional Type-C Device (Optional): If needed, connect another Type-C powered device (e.g., a smartphone for charging) to the remaining Type-C output port on the NP-F adapter.
Important: Ensure all connections are firm before powering on any devices. Always connect the D-Tap cable to the power source last, and disconnect it first when powering down.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once all connections are made as described in the Setup section:
- Qawwa Mixgħul: Turn on your V-mount battery or power source. The connected devices (monitor, wireless receiver, camera, etc.) should receive power.
- Monitor Power Status: Observe the power indicators on your connected devices to confirm they are receiving power correctly.
- Type-C Power Delivery: The Type-C output port supports Power Delivery (PD) and will automatically negotiate the appropriate voltage (5V, 9V, or 12V) with the connected device, up to 36W.
- Itfi: To power down, first turn off all connected devices, then disconnect the D-Tap cable from the V-mount battery. Finally, disconnect the dummy batteries from your devices.
Note: Do not power the camera directly from the D-Tap input if the input voltage is 9V. In such cases, the NP-F output will be 7.8V, which is normal, but the Type-C output will only be 5V. Ensure your camera's power requirements are met by the Type-C output when using the DMW-DCC17 dummy battery.
