• Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not use old batteries with new ones, or mix brands of batteries.
• Ensure the batteries are positioned correctly with regard to polarity (+/-).
• Allowing dust to accumulate in the camera over a long period is hazardous and in extreme
circumstances may cause a fire. It is best to clean your camera prior to seasonal periods of
high humidity.
• Batteries may lose power if kept inside the camera for a long time without using. Please
remove the batteries while the camera is not in use.
• Do not use manganese batteries as they cannot supply sufficient power to support the
camera's operations. Batteries may not work normally under 32ºF (0ºC).
