Maintenance Your Camera

Follow these guidelines for optimal camera performance:

  2. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not insert foreign objects around the lens.
  3. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers.
  4. Protect the camera from drops and bumps, which can damage internal components.
  5. Keep the camera away from high temperatures and strong sunshine to prevent damage.

Maximizing Battery Life

A message appears on the display when the battery drops below 10%. If the battery reaches 0% during recording, the camera saves the file and powers off.

To maximize battery life, follow these guidelines:

Battery Storage and Handling

The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing the camera to extreme cold or heat, as this may temporarily shorten battery life or cause malfunction. Avoid dramatic temperature or humidity changes, which can lead to condensation.

Do not dry the camera or battery with external heat sources like microwave ovens or hair dryers. Damage caused by liquid inside the camera is not covered under warranty.

Do not store the battery with metal objects (coins, keys, necklaces) as this can cause a fire if battery terminals come into contact with metal.

Do not make unauthorized alterations to the camera, as this may compromise safety, compliance, performance, and void the warranty.

WARNING: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint the camera or battery. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening. Do not use a damaged camera or battery (e.g., cracked, punctured, or water-damaged). Disassembling or puncturing the battery can cause an explosion or fire.

Remote

The remote control allows you to operate the camera wirelessly.

[Description of remote: A small rectangular device with a red 'Photo Button' and a grey 'Video Button'. It is described as 'Splashproof only, not waterproof'.]
