Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with the camera, please refer to this section.
1. The camera cannot be turned on after installing the battery
- (1) The battery power is insufficient; please replace the battery with a new one or charge the battery.
- (2) The battery is installed in reverse; please confirm that the battery is installed in the correct way.
- (3) The battery insulating paper is not removed.
2. The battery is not charging
- (1) If the red light of the charging indicator flashes, the battery is not in place or the contact is poor. Please re-install the battery until the indicator light is on (the indicator light goes out when the battery is fully charged).
- (2) The charging indicator light is off and the charger is not plugged in properly. Please check whether the charger is connected normally.
- (3) The ambient temperature is lower than 10°C, which may lead to slow charging or failure to charge.
