cover.
No tools are required.
2.  Install the SD card.
3.  Loosen the four captive screws 
securing the battery cover.
4.  Pry off the battery cover by 
grasping the front edge where the 
SD card cover was removed.
5.  Install the batteries as shown.
6.  Snap the SD card cover back 
into place and re-install the battery 
cover—it only fits one way.
Charging the Camera
The batteries in the camera must be charged prior to their first 
use.
1. Connect the Hot Shoe to your 
camera.
2.  Ensure that the plug is fully 
seated in the Hot Shoe.
When charging correctly, the 
charging indicator will be lit 
yellow and will blink green for one 
second within about 35 seconds.
The charging indicator will 
continue to blink at decreasing 
intervals until the batteries are 
fully charged. 
When fully charged, the charging 
indicator will be lit solid green. 
The initial charge time is 
approximately 4 hours.
