To reduce risk of injury, charge only rechargeable batteries recommended by the
manufacturer for this camera. Other types of batteries may burst causing damage and
personal injury.
FCC Regulations state that unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may
void the user’s authority to operate it.
Radio Interference
This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B Digital Device in
accordance with specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable
protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. The equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by
turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is
“receiving” the interference).
• Change the position of the receiver with respect to the radio or television equipment that is
receiving interference.
• Move the receiver away from equipment receiving interference.
• Plug the receiver into a different wall outlet so the receiver and equipment receiving interference
are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet
is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify the stock
number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

First Things First
Attach the Hand Strap
Dropping a camera can cause serious damage both
internally and externally. So, to secure your investment,
attach the hand strap first thing, and use it every time.
1. Insert the small loop at the end of the strap under the
strap eyelet.
2. Insert the other end of the strap through the loop to tie
the strap onto the strap eyelet.
Power Supply
There are two ways to supply power to the camera; either use two batteries (size
AA) or supply power through a USB connection to the computer.
Notes: If you use the RS-232C Digital Cable to connect the camera to the computer
through a serial port, you must use the batteries to supply power to the camera. You can
also use an optional AC adapter (see Specifications section) to power the camera.
Inserting Batteries
1. On the bottom of the camera, slide the battery
chamber cover out in the direction of the large
arrow to open it. A click can be heard when the
compartment is released.
2. If necessary, remove the desiccant moisture
capsule from the battery compartment.
3. Insert two (2) AA batteries. Make sure to match the positive and negative ends
of the batteries to the markings inside the battery compartment.
4. Close the battery chamber cover by pushing down firmly and sliding it back
until the latch closes with a click.
Important Notes
• Never use manganese batteries.
• Your camera will not work if the batteries are inserted incorrectly.
• Remove batteries from camera if it will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• Never mix old batteries with new ones.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Never destroy batteries or dispose of by fire. Doing so can cause an
explosion or leak caustic materials into the environment.

Auto Power Off
To conserve energy, the camera goes into “sleep”mode automatically if no buttons or
switches are pressed for approximately 2 minutes. Press the ON/OFF button on the back
of the camera to turn it back on.
Recording Pictures
Since there needs to be pictures taken before the camera will display stored files, let’s
walk through the steps to capture images.
Your camera automatically defaults to the recording mode (as indicated by the icon
on the rear LCD display) the first time it is turned on. If, for some reason, the camera is
not in record mode, quickly pressing and releasing the button near the lower right of
the LCD screen should display the record icon.
Frame Your Picture
Frame the picture with the optical viewfinder using the
marks on the edge to enclose the image you want to take.
The actual picture captured will be slightly larger than
what you see in the optical viewfinder.
Capturing Images
Center the image you want to take in the viewfinder and hold the camera still and level
while you press the shutter release button on top of the camera to capture the image.
•Do not block the lens or flash with your fingers or open the battery chamber cover.
After the picture is taken, the green light near the optical viewfinder on the back of the
camera blinks while the image is processing. The picture number on the LCD screen
may decrease by one after the picture is stored, depending on camera settings.
Shutter Release Button
WARNING: While the camera is processing, uploading, or erasing images, the
green LED light located on the back of the camera flashes. While the green light is
flashing, DO NOT remove the batteries, remove power from the camera, turn the
camera off, disconnect the camera from a computer, or perform any other
operation. This will cause fatal damage to the operating system of the camera.

digital camera, you must know and be
able to navigate through the LCD menu

captured.
