Attaching the BG-7D
Before attaching the BG-7D, be sure that your Canon dSLR Camera power is OFF,
and that BG-7D’s (17) Operation Switch is in the “OFF” position.
Remove the (1) Contact Cap from the BG-7D. Be sure to replace the cap when the
BG-7D is not in use. The (1) Contact Cap can be threaded onto your camera strap
when removed from the BG-7D.
Open your Canon dSLR Camera’s battery-compartment cover. Remove the
battery-compartment cover from your camera. On the neck of the BG-7D, locate
the slot in which your Canon dSLR Camera’s battery-compartment cover can be
placed. (See next page)
Operating Instructions:

Remove the battery pack if there is one inside your camera.
Slide the neck of the BG-7D into your Canon dSLR Camera’s battery compart-
ment.
Firmly tighten the (7) Attachment Wheel by rotating it in the direction shown by
the LOCK Arrow.
Inserting Batteries
The BG-7D can be used with one or two LP-E6 Rechargeable Li-Ion batteries or
with 6 AA batteries inserted in the (b) AA Battery Magazine. Before inserting bat-
teries, be sure that the camera is OFF and that the BG-7D (17) Operation Switch is
in the “OFF” position.
Slide the (4) Battery Chamber Latch on the back of the BG-7D to the right and
open the (10) Battery Chamber Cover.
Insert LP-E6 batteries directly into the (3) Battery Chamber of the BG-7D. If you are
inserting only one LP-E6 battery, you may slide it into either slot of the battery
compartment. (When closing the (10) Battery Chamber Cover, be sure to secure it
until it clicks into place.)
Alternatively, you can insert six AA batteries into the (b) AA Battery Magazine.
Please be sure that the “+”and “-” are correctly aligned.
