Guard. Never use any other AC adaptor besides the one that comes with
this Self-Guard.
¾Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other cover while it is
in use, and do not use it near a heater.
¾At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up
around the prongs can create the risk of fire.
¾If the Self-Guard’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or
otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn it off. Next,
remove the Self-Guard’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord
from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest STARNEX
authorized service center.
¾Never use the Self-Guard inside of an aircraft or in any other area where
its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk of accident.
¾Physical damage and malfunction of this Self-Guard can cause the data
stored in its memory to be deleted. Always keep backup copies of data by
transferring them to USB memory stick or USB Hard Disk.
¾Never remove the battery, disconnect the AC adaptor from the Self-Guard,
or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while a moving image is
being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image
impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in the file
memory.

in the Self-Guard to a USB memory device, and then insert that USB memory
device to the USB port in the computer to copy the data in USB memory
device to the computer. Use only the USB cable provided in the package. It
may cause damage to both the Self-Guard and the computer if you connect
the Self-Guard to the computer using other USB cables directly.

savings mode if you don’t press any button for a certain amount of time (1-9
minutes). This does not indicate malfunction of the system.
