(Figure A- ) is in the L position (the illustrations show the D300).
1 Remove the contact cap (Figure A- ) from the battery pack.

tact cover. Remove the contact cover as shown in Figure B- and place it in the contact cover
holder on the MB-D10 (Figure B- ).
3 Insert the MB-D10 (Figure C), keeping the MB-D10 mounting screw (C- ) aligned with the
camera tripod socket (C- ). There is no need to remove the battery from the camera before
connecting the MB-D10. At default settings, the battery inserted in the camera will be used
only after the battery in the MB-D10 is exhausted. The [Battery order]
option in the camera
Custom Settings menu (Group d) can be used to change the order in which the batteries are
used. See the camera manual for details.

Be sure to place the camera contact cover in the contact cover holder to prevent loss.
