• The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.
• Before removing the card or battery, turn the camera off, and wait until the status indicator has
gone off completely. (Otherwise, this unit may no longer operate normally and the card itself
may be damaged or the recorded pictures may be lost.)
