the date, the time and the ID number are not cleared.

lighting also switches off. When you switch the camera back on, night mode

is cancelled and the camera operates as normal.

●Whenever possible, switch the camera off when it is not in use as this

reduces power consumption. If the camera will not be used for an extended

period, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet. If you turn the power off,

the date and time will be cleared.
