Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the camera, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the camera is completely dry before use or storage.
Battery Care
Always use fresh, high-quality AA batteries. Remove batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
Storage
Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing in dusty or humid environments.
Troubleshooting
Camera Not Turning On
- Check if batteries are installed correctly with proper polarity.
- Replace old or depleted batteries with new ones.
