Lithium ion battery is a compact and high-capacity battery. 
However, when the battery is cooled under low temperature (50xF 
(10xC) or less) such as outside in winter, the available time of the 
battery becomes shorter and this unit may not work. In this case, 
warm the battery and insert it into this unit just before you use this 
unit. (If you use a pocket warmer, do not let the pocket warmer 
touch the battery.)
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥If it is left attached to this unit, a minute amount of current is 
consumed even when this unit is turned off. If it is left for a long time, 
over discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable even 
after it is charged.
≥If it is left attached to this unit for a long period of time, self-discharge 
may take place. Charge the battery before use.
Bring spare batteries when you use this unit outdoors.
≥The operating time of the battery may become shorter under low 
temperature conditions such as outside on a ski hill.
≥When you travel, be sure to prepare the AC adaptor (supplied) to 
charge the battery on the spot.
If the battery is dropped, check that the terminal is not deformed.
≥If the battery attached to this unit with a deformed terminal, it may 
damage this unit.
Cautions for using battery
≥Charge only with specified AC adaptor.
≥Do not dispose of in fire.
≥Do not disassemble.

Cautions to store the battery
≥Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable 
temperature. (Recommendable temperature: 59oF–77oF (15oC–
25oC) Recommendable humidity: 40%–60%)
≥Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.
≥If the battery is kept in hot, humid, smoky or dusty places, the 
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend 
charging it once every year and storing it again after you completely 
use up the charged capacity.
≥Remove dusts from the terminal of the battery.
Do not throw unnecessary (expired) batteries into a fire.
≥If you heat or burn the battery, it may cause an explosion.
≥The battery has a limited life. When the operating time of the SD 
Multi Camera becomes extremely short even if the battery is properly 
charged, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
When the charge lamp blinks quicker or slower, the following 
conditions are possible.
When the charge lamp blinks approx. every 6 seconds (lighting 
approx. 3 seconds, turning off approx. 3 seconds):
≥The battery is excessively discharged. You can charge the battery, 
however, it may take several hours to start charging the battery 
normally.

When the charge lamp blinks approx. every 0.5 second (lighting 
approx. 0.25 second, turning off approx. 0.25 second):
≥The room or the battery temperature is extremely high or low. Wait 
until the room or the battery temperature becomes adequate and 
then recharge the battery. If you still cannot charge the battery, there 
may be a defect with this unit, the battery or the AC adaptor. Consult 
the dealer.
When the charge lamp turns off:
≥Charging is completed.
≥If the charge lamp turns off though the battery is not completely 
charged, the AC adaptor or the battery may be defective. Consult the 
dealer.
≥For details about the battery, refer to P87.
≥If moisture forms on the outside of the unit, it is called 
“condensation”.
≥When condensation takes place, the Lens may be fogged or this unit 
may not operate normally. Be careful to avoid condensation and take 
proper measures when condensation occurs.
Causes of condensation
≥Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or 
humidity is changed as follows:
 When this unit is moved from cold weather outside to a warm room
 When this unit is brought out of an air-conditioned car
 When a cold room is suddenly warmed
 When cool wind from an air conditioner or other is directly blown onto 
this unit
 In humid places

							90VQT0P18
When condensation has taken place
≥Turn this unit off and leave this unit in this condition for about 1 hour. 
When this unit becomes close to the ambient temperature, the 
condensation disappears naturally.
≥When you move this unit from a cold place to a hot place, put the 
camera into a plastic bag and then take it out after the temperature of 
this unit becomes close to the ambient temperature to avoid 
condensation.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form 
on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Do not press the LCD Monitor strongly. It may cause uneven colors 
on the LCD Monitor or a malfunction of the LCD Monitor. Do not 
touch the LCD Monitor with a hard object. It causes scratches on the 
surface of the LCD Monitor.
≥When the Lens is aimed at a high contrast subject, the picture may 
look uneven or after images may appear on the LCD Monitor. This is 
not a malfunction.
≥If the SD Multi Camera is extremely cold when you turn it on, the 
image on the LCD Monitor is slightly darker than usual. However, as 
the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal 
brightness.
LCD Monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the 
LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 61,600 pixels. 
The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of 
the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction 
and does not affect the recorded picture.
