GETTING STARTED
You may use either 4 AA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH), 2 CR-V3 Lithium battery packs
or an AC power adapter (optional accessory) to power your camera. Battery power is
convenient for capturing images or video clips while an AC adapter power is useful when
transferring recorded images to your computer.
Installing the Batteries
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Unlock the battery cover lock, and slide the battery
cover.
3. Insert the batteries, noting the correct polarity (+ or -).
4. Close the battery cover and lock it in position.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use manganese batteries.
Never use batteries of different type (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures will shorten
battery life and reduce camera performance.
Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)
Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage caused by
the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
Using an AC power adapter while transferring images to your computer prevents unexpected
automatic power off of the camera.
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the jack labeled “DC IN 5V” terminal.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.

To remove an SD memory card
Make sure the camera is off. Open the SD card cover. Press lightly on the edge of the
memory card and it will eject.

erased from an SD card you can slide the write
protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card) to
“LOCK”.

you must, however, unlock the card.
