Installing the battery
1 Open the battery cover. 
Slide the battery cover open as indicated.
 
 
 
2 Install the battery. 
Place the accessory Li-Ion battery into the 
compartment. Note that the metallic contacts 
must be aligned with the contacts in the 
compartment.
 
3 Replace the cover. 
After the battery is properly installed, replace 
the battery cover.
 Treat the Li-Ion battery with care: 
• Keep the battery away from fire or high-temperature environment  
  (over 140ºF or 60ºC). 
• Do not drop the battery or try to disassemble it. 
• If the battery is not used for long periods, fully discharge and  
  charge the battery at least once a year to maintain its lifecycle.
 Upon using the battery for the first time, you are recommended to 
fully discharge and then charge the battery to ensure its lifecycle.
 Purchasing additional batteries: 
This camera uses one 8210 Li-Ion battery as power source. You 
can purchase the 8210 Li-Ion Rechargeable battery (3.7 volt; 
850mAh) at your local shop.

4 When the charging indicator turns green, the battery 
pack is fully charged.
 This charger can only be used to charge the accessory battery 
pack. Do not use it to charge other unknown batteries.
 When in use, do not place the charger near fire or in an enclosed 
area that retains heat.

Inserting a memory card (optional)
In addition to the built-in flash 
memory, your camera can store data 
on a Secure Digital (SD) card or a 
MultiMedia card (MMC).
To insert a memory card, do the 
followings:
(1) Open the battery cover. 
(2) Gently push the card as indicated 
until the card reaches the bottom 
of the slot. 
To remove the memory card, gently 
push the card and it will pop up. Then 
pull the card out of the slot. 
 Write protection
The SD card comes with a 
write-protect switch. When 
the write-protect switch is set 
to the Lock position, the card 
will become non-writable. To 
ensure that the camera can 
operate normally, you should 
set the write-protect switch 
to the Unlock position before 
inserting the SD card.
 Do not remove the memory card while the camera is processing 
data (when the LED is blinking).
 When a memory card is inserted, the camera will use the card 
as the main storage medium. Files stored in the camera’s built-in 
memory will become inaccessible until the card is removed.
