GETTING STARTED
Attaching the Camera Strap
Attach the camera strap as shown in the illustration.
Inserting and Removing the Battery (Optional Accessory)
It is highly recommend using the original rechargeable lithium-ion battery to
fully demonstrate the cameras full functionality.  Charge the battery fully before
using the Vivicam 4000.  Make sure that the camera is off  and the AC adapter
line is disconnected before inserting or removing the battery.
Inserting the Battery
1. Open the battery/SD card cover.

2. Insert the battery in the correct
orientation shown.
Tilt the battery lock lever in the direction
of the arrow and orient the battery so
that its label is facing the front side of
the camera, and then insert the battery.
3. Close the battery/SD card cover.
Removing the Battery
Open the battery/SD card cover and then release the battery lock lever. When
the battery has come out a little, slowly pull it out the rest of the way.
If you are not going to use the battery for an extended period of time,
remove it from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Avoid using the battery in extremely cold environments as low
temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce the camera
performance.
You may also use a non-rechargeable Duracell CP1 Lithium battery.
Never attempt to use an AC adapter/charger with a CP1.
