PREPARATION
Connecting to Power
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use
batteries (AA Alkaline, Ni-MH), or you can use an AC Adapter (DC 6V/2.5A).
• Using the batteries
1. Pull the battery chamber cover lock in the
direction of the arrow( 1 ) and open the battery
chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the
arrow( 2 ).
2. Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity
(+/-).
3. To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it
clicks.
Reference
• This camera will automatically turn off when not in use for a period
of time.
• We recommend high-capacity ALKALINE batteries (2000mAh) because man-
ganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.
Note
Important information about battery usage
• 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˚C) can affect the performance of the batteries and
you may experience reduced battery life.
• Batteries will normally recover at normal temperatures.
• Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.
• 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.
