Getting Started
Before you start taking digital pictures with your camera, insert the (AA-size Alkaline)
batteries. When you use your camera as a video camera for your PC, you won’t need
batteries. The camera absorbs power from your computer through the USB port.
Inserting Batteries
1. On the bottom of the camera, slide the
battery door in the direction indicated by
the arrow to open it.
2. Insert two (2) AA-size batteries as indicated
on the inner side of the battery door.
3. Close the battery door and turn on the
camera.
If you are using new batteries with your
camera, the Battery Power icon on the LCD
panel will be fully shaded.
After using the camera for some time and the
battery power becomes low, only the lower
portion of the Battery Power icon will appear
shaded. This indicates that the batteries are
weak and need to be replaced.
Note
Ⅲ Insert the batteries in the correct positive
and negative
polarities.
Ⅲ Remove the batteries if the camera is not used for an extended period of time to
prevent leaks or corrosion.
Ⅲ Never use manganese batteries.
Ⅲ Never mix old and new batteries.
Ⅲ Low temperatures (under 0°C or 32°F) reduce the output efficiency of batteries,
thereby shortening the operation time of the camera.
Ⅲ The recommended battery is AA size alkaline battery.
Ⅲ When discarding the batteries, cover the positive
and negative
terminals with
adhesive tapes.
