Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your EKEN H9R Action Camera:

• Cleaning the Lens and Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the camera lens and LCD screen. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth.
• Waterproof Case Care: After each use in water, rinse the waterproof case with fresh water and allow it to air dry. Inspect the rubber seal for any debris or damage that could compromise its waterproof integrity.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging batteries for extended periods. If not using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Storage: Store the camera and accessories in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

If you encounter issues with your EKEN H9R Action Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Camera Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Try using a different charged battery if available.
