DSMC SIDE HANDLE

The DSMC Side Handle provides programmable menu controls and a battery compartment that holds one (1)

REDVOLT battery. The DSMC Side Handle LCD display shows camera parameter values and illuminates for

operation in dark environments. When a REDVOLT is installed in the DSMC Side Handle, batteries connected

to other DSMC power modules may be hot-swapped, providing uninterrupted operation.
For a full list of DSMC Side Handle user keys and default actions, go to

“Default Key Functions” on page 205

NOTE: Upgrading your DSMC to v5.3 also upgrades the DSMC Side Handle. During the upgrade, you will be

instructed to shut down the DSMC twice so that the firmware upgrades successfully. Any DSMC Side Handle

that is upgraded to v5.3 can only be used with DSMCs running v5.2 or later. To use a DSMC Side Handle with

v5.1 after you’ve upgraded it to v5.3, first downgrade to v5.2, and then downgrade to v5.1.
