Before installing the camera in the cooling chamber, you
will need to insert the DC power coupler into the battery

camera. We recommend powering the camera with an
external power source via a “DC coupler” (fake camera
battery) designed for your particular camera model
rather than the standard internal battery, for several
reasons:
a. Batteries lose charge faster in cold conditions, so
