Dummy Battery in the camera , and pass the cable through the cord hole on the
battery door. Then lock the battery door. Once the Dummy Battery is installed,
mount the Battery Grip on the bottom of the GH6. 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 GH6.
Battery Grip’s LED indicators will flash to show the remaining battery
capacity.

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 flash to show the remaining battery
capacity.
