2.0 Installing the Batteries
Step 1: Open the battery door by lifting the tab on the door.
Step 2: Insert three AAA batteries with the polarity as shown.
Step 3: Close the battery cover.
Warning: Do not open the battery door when the camera is powered ON. This will cause
all images in memory to be lost immediately. If you open the battery door when the camera
is OFF (when changing the batteries) you must close the door within thirty (30) seconds or
your images will be erased from memory.
Notes:
1. Always download your images to your computer soon after you have captured them.
Never assume your images will be retained for more than three or four days. If the
batteries are depleted, your images will be lost.
2. If you must change the batteries, makes sure the camera is OFF and then change the
batteries in less than thirty (30) seconds.
3. If you will not use the camera for a long time (several days, or more) remove the
batteries. The batteries will discharge slowly if left in the camera. This may cause
complete battery discharge as well as loss of images. The batteries may corrode if left in
the camera for extended periods of time.
4. Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with local laws and regulations. Do not place
them in fire.
5. The VQ 350 has an automatic power-saving feature. The camera will turn off
automatically if it has not been used after approximately thirty (30) seconds.
6. When the camera is connected to a computer using a USB cable, it is not necessary to
use batteries because the camera uses the power provided by the computer through
the USB interface.
