Setup Guide
1. Inserting the Battery
Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the camcorder. Slide the latch to open the cover. Insert one of the provided 1500 mAh rechargeable batteries, ensuring the contacts align correctly. Close the cover until it clicks securely.
2. Inserting the SD Card
Open the SD card slot cover, usually located near the battery compartment. Insert the 32GB SD card (or another compatible SD card up to 32GB) with the metal contacts facing down until it clicks into place. Close the cover.
