How to Install a Hand Grip Battery for a Digital Rebel XTI
- 1). Turn the camera over to reveal the battery cover. Use your thumbnail to open the battery door. Hold the orange battery latch back using your thumb, then turn the camera over to drop the battery out of the camera.
- 2). Locate the hinge on the battery door. Pull the battery door toward the sides of the camera, at a slight angle, to break it free from the body. The battery door then clicks onto the body of the battery pack, at the vertical section that goes inside the camera.
- 3). Place the battery grip into the battery compartment of the camera until the tripod mount screw on the battery grip contacts the threaded hole on the base of the camera. Locate the knurled knob on the front of the battery grip. Turn it to the right to thread the battery grip into the tripod mount on the camera to lock it in place.
- 4). Turn on the camera to verify the battery grip is working correctly.
