GETTING STARTED
You can use 4 AA size batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH) or a specified AC power adapter as the power supply
for the camera. Battery power is convenient for recording images or video clips while AC adapter
power is recommended for transferring images to your computer.
Installing the batteries(optional)
1. Make sure the camera is off.
2. Unlock and slide the battery cover in the direction of the
open arrow     .
3. Insert the batteries according to the correct polarity marks
(+ or -).
4. Close and lock the battery cover firmly.
•If you won’t be using the batteries for an extended period of time, then remove them from the camera to prevent
leaks or corrosion.
•Never use manganese batteries.
•Never use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
•Low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce the performance. Avoid using them in extremely cold
environments.
NOTE

2. Open the jack cover and connect one end of the AC power
adapter to the DC IN jack on the camera.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
NOTE
•Make sure to use only the specified AC power adapter for the camera. Otherwise, it may cause damages to the
camera, which is not covered under the warranty.
•To prevent unexpected auto power off resulting from no battery power left during the process of transferring
your images to the computer, use the AC power adapter as a power supply.

2. Open the SD card cover.
3. Insert the SD memory card.

tion is correct.

To remove the card, make sure the camera is off. Open
the SD card cover. Slightly press the SD memory card once
and remove it.
