SAFETY TIPS AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for batteries:

Use 2x AA batteries only.

Dispose of the batteries in a manner that complies with applicable laws.

Leakage, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.

Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.

Do not use old batteries with new ones, or mix brands of batteries.

Ensure the batteries are positioned correctly with regard to polarity (+/-).

Allowing dust to accumulate in the camera over a long period is hazardous and in extreme circumstances may cause a fire. It is best to clean your camera prior to seasonal periods of high humidity.

Batteries may lose power if kept inside the camera for a long time without using. Please remove the batteries while the camera is not in use.

Do not use manganese batteries as they cannot supply sufficient power to support the camera's operations. Batteries may not work normally under 32ºF (0ºC).

Precautions for SD Memory Cards:

In the event of malfunction or damage, it is possible that data may be lost. Concord Camera is not responsible in any way for such data loss.

Do not touch the terminals with hands or metal objects.

Keep dust, water and foreign objects away from the terminal section.

Avoid heat, liquid and direct sunlight when using and for storage.

Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the SD Memory Card while data is being read or written.

Do not dismantle or modify.

The recorded data may be lost if the card is affected by strong static electricity or electrical shock, or during card repair or malfunction.

When using SD Memory Cards do not change the attributes (read-only, etc.) of the files (pictures (JPEG) or video clips (AVI) on the card. Doing so may prevent the camera from working properly when deleting, etc.

Pictures or video clips that have been edited or added to the SD memory card with the computer may not play back and it may cause the camera to malfunction.

The SD Memory Card includes a write-protect switch. Sliding this switch downward prevents data from being written to the card and pictures and video clips saved on the card are protected.

Please note that pictures and video clips cannot be taken or deleted when the write-protect switch is on.

When using a large-capacity card, writing, reading and deletion may take some time.

Do not store the card in places with high humidity, dusty places or where static electricity or electromagnetic fields are likely to occur.

Images stored in the memory card may be ruined or damaged if you turn off the camera while it is in process of reading, writing or formatting etc.
