Maintenance Features

  • Battery Management: The camera requires 4 AA (LR6) alkaline batteries. For best performance, alkaline or fully charged Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are recommended. Instructions are provided for battery removal and installation, emphasizing correct polarity, not mixing old/new or different battery types, and safe disposal. Rechargeable batteries should be charged under adult supervision and removed from the toy before charging. The camera has an automatic shut-off feature to preserve battery life. A low battery icon indicates when new batteries are needed.
  • Cleaning: Keep the camera clean by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Storage: Keep the camera out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources. Remove batteries during long periods of non-use.
  • Durability: Do not drop the camera on a hard surface or expose it to moisture/immerse it in water.
  • Data Management: When connecting to a computer via USB, ensure the camera is off and the rubber cover for the USB port is properly fitted. Files can be transferred between the camera and computer. It is recommended to back up all important data from the memory card before using it in the camera, and to back up internal memory files to a computer when it gets full. Do not insert or remove a memory card or disconnect the camera while files are transferring.
  • Safety: Adult assembly is required for battery installation. Keep batteries out of reach of children. All packing materials should be discarded for child safety. Parents should supervise children during play, and if a child experiences dizziness or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Regular breaks (15 minutes per hour of play) are recommended.
