Important information about battery usage
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion.
Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.
Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.
Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may
experience reduced battery life.
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.
During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is
perfectly normal.
If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an
AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A).
INFORMATION
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC
Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for
long periods of time.
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN
3.3V) on the camera.
Remove the batteries from the camera when using an
AC adapter.
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)
Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.
As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera

Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for
the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.
