2. Inserting the Batteries   
 
Step 1: Open the battery door by sliding it down and 
then move it outwards from the camera body.   
Step 2:
 Insert two AA batteries with the polarity as 
       shown: 
Step 3:
 Close the battery cover. 
 
Warning:    Do not open the battery door when the camera is powered ON.   
This will cause all images in memory to be lost immediately.    If you open the 
battery door when the camera is OFF (when changing the batteries) you 
must close the door within thirty (30) seconds or your images will be erased 
from memory. 
 
Notes: 
 
1.  Always download your images to your computer soon after you have   
captured them. Never assume your images will be retained for more 
than 
three or four days. If the batteries are depleted, your images will be lost.
 
2.  If you must change the batteries, make sure the camera is OFF and then 
change the batteries within 30 seconds. 
3.  If you will not use the camera for a long time (several days, or more)   
remove the batteries. The batteries will discharge slowly if left in the   
camera. This may cause complete battery discharge as well as loss of   
images. The batteries may corrode if left in the camera for extended   
periods of time.   
4.  Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with local laws and   
regulations. Do not place them in fire.
