Thank you for your choice in purchasing a Switronix Product. The all aluminum JetPack X has all the standard Jetpack features but adds a built-in
battery backup capable of withstanding a 200w load for up to 5 minutes when batteries are not connected. The JPX feature three LEMO outputs
(5v, 7v, 12v), a USB power connection, and 2 unregulated powertaps all backed up, on either a V or 3-Stud mount plate configuration. The JPX adds
a 2-pin Amp connector power connection which can connect directly to ENG cameras behind the included cheese plate.
In addition to the cheese plate, the JPX has three 1/4-20 mounts on the bottom(one centered, one set 18mm apart for rail mounts), and
an X-Mod mount plate which can attach the JPX to any V-mount and 3-Stud hole pattern(cameras, battery mount plates, rail
mount cheese plates).

**The JetPack will charge an iPad but slower then the Apple brand charger.
You will see "Not Charging" on the iPad screen, but that just means 2.1A of current is not being supplied to the device.
Jetpack X Operation:
It is recommend to turn the Jetpack X power switch ON when beginning use. Power will route through to the
powertaps and battery plate output cable (1B LEMO, BMCC Pin, XLR) , but you can not utilize battery backup unless the JPX is ON prior to usage.
Once a the JPX is on power is available to the battery plate output cable (1B LEMO, BMCC Pin, XLR) and two battery plate power taps as well as
the smaller LEMO outputs on the side and USB.
The Side LED panel of the JPX has 4 LEDs indicating the following;
- POWER: Power switch is activated, unit is ON, battery backup is available
- CHARGE: Should external power be connected(battery on mount plate or 2B external power), the
internal 20w battery will be charging
- BACKUP: The Jetpack X is supplying power to all devices via the battery backup power
-LOW BATT: The indicator will illuminate when the battery pack connected is under 12v and should be
changed. This DOES NOT INDICATE low battery backup! Their is no visible indication of LOW BATTERY
BACKUP.
The JETPACK X only draw the battery source connected unless no power source is connected and will automatically switch to battery backup. When
a battery source is connected, the unit will concurrently charge the internal battery. If the CHARGE LED goes out, that means the internal battery is
fully charged. This doesn’t happen often as their is a trickle charge program for the battery, so often the JPX will draw a very small current
(under 1/5th of a watt) from the battery pack connected to maintain the internal battery.
