Connecting to Batteries (NP-F or via D-Tap)
Although the CL68RGB includes an AC adapter for connecting to a wall outlet, it can also run using
battery power. There are two battery options for you to choose from:
1. Using NP-F type batteries: Locate the NP-F Battery Slots (8) on the back of the light. Using two
compatible NP-F type batteries (7.4V / 4,400 mAh minimum), insert them one at a time into these
slots with their contacts facing toward the center of the light. Push and hold each battery against
the slot (while supporting the light to prevent it from falling) and slide the battery away from the
outside and towards the center until you feel it click into place securely. The light requires two
NP-F batteries of equal capacity and voltage for proper operation. It will not function with just one
NP-F battery.
To release the NP-F type batteries, hold your hand against one of them at a time, and press the
Battery Release Button (9) below it. This will release the security lock holding the battery. Remove
each battery carefully from the back of the light.
With two, charged NP-F batteries installed, push the Power Switch (10) to the left to turn the light
ON.
2. Using batteries with D-Tap: Locate the D-Tap adapter cable which is included with this light, and
be sure to have a compatible battery with an on-board D-Tap connection (V-Mount & Gold Mount
batteries often have a D-Tap) fully charged and nearby. The D-Tap adapter cable has a
barrel-style connector on one end and a D-Tap connector on the other. Only use the included
cable with this light because it has an internal current regulator to ensure proper and safe power
to the light.
Insert the barrel end of the included D-Tap cable into the light's Power Input Socket (17) first.
Next, connect the other end of the cable to the D-Tap port on the battery while supporting it. It is
important to keep the battery supported so it does not put a strain on the cable or Power Input
Socket (17). A stretchy, hook-and-loop strap is included to aid with this. Use the strap to attach the
battery to your light stand by wrapping it around them both, leaving some slack in the cord that
goes from the battery to the back of the light. Never allow the battery to hang or put a strain on the
cord or the Power Input Socket (17).
With a charged D-Tap battery connected, push the Power Switch (10) to the right to turn the light
ON.
Note: The CL68RGB does not include batteries. ProMaster offers a wide assortment of both NP-F
type and D-Tap compatible batteries. Contact your local ProMaster dealer or go to
www.promaster.com for more information.
Additional note: Only connect the CL68RGB to one power source at a time.
