Mount to Camera Bottom CONT.
Canon R5/R5c/R6
Versions for the Canon R5/R5c/R6 include a pre-installed locating pin
on the left front of the Battery Grip that matches the locating hole on
the bottom of the camera. The locating pin works with the 1/4 screw to
prevent the rotation. Before installing the Battery Grip, install the LP-E6
Dummy Battery into the camera, and pass the cable through the cord
hole near the battery compartment cover. Then lock the compartment
cover. Once the Dummy Battery is installed, mount the Battery Grip
on the bottom of the camera. Next, plug the USB-C connector of the
Dummy Battery into either of the two USB-C ports of the Battery Grip.
Once Battery Grip’s USB-C port is plugged into the cable, you can
turn on camera. Battery Grip’s LED indicators will ash to show the
remaining battery capacity.
Powered by USB-C cable
directly
Battery Grip also supports powering directly to the camera’s USB-C
port using a USB-C cable. In addition, Battery Grip can also power
other devices such as Atomos Zato Connect or microphones, or
wireless transmitters.
The LED indicator shows charging conditions as follows:
Power level LED1 LED2 LED3 LED4
99-75% On On On On
75-50% On On On Off
50-25% On On Off Off
25-10% On Off Off Off

Note
1. When using the camera’s USB-C port for power supply, the
camera’s battery compartment must have a battery installed. In
addition, the camera battery will be charged when the camera’s
USB-C port supplies power. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to use
the Dummy Battery and the USB-C port to deliver power at the same
time.
2. Dummy Battery’s built-in system stabilizes the voltage at 8.4V,
so the camera cannot detect Battery Grip’s battery capacity by
measuring the battery voltage. Instead, please check the LED
indicator of the Battery Grip to know the remaining battery capacity.
3. When Battery Grip’s two USB-C ports are powered simultaneously,
both USB-C ports have a maximum output voltage of 9V. In
comparison, the single port can output up to 20V depending on the
device being powered.
4. When the Battery Grip is accidentally short-circuited, it will enter
protection mode. In this case, the Battery Grip can be restarted using
a USB-C cable connected to a USB adapter and charging for a few
seconds.
5. Even when the camera on/off switch is set to OFF thus turning
the camera off, it consumes power. Therefore, disconnect Battery
Grip from all connections when not in use to avoid further power
consumption.
