Using the Built-in Rechargeable Battery
The CAM incorporates a rechargeable lithium cell that maintains the date and other settings even when the AC adaptor
and the battery are removed. The rechargeable lithium cell is automatically recharged when the CAM is used.
✤If The CAM is not used at all, the cell runs down in 5 days. In this case, connect the AC adaptor to the CAM
and turn on the power switch. Then leave it for 24 hours.
After that, set the date and other settings again.
✤You can use the CAMin any country or area with the supplied AC Power Adapter where the power input range is
100V ~ 240V, 50/60Hz.
✤Use a commercially available AC plug adapter if necessary, depending on the design of the local wall outlets.
