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.

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.
