BATTERY Important: DO NOT allow Li-ion battery to become fully discharged. If not using camera for a prolonged period, recharge every 3 months to prevent battery from becoming fully discharged. Maximizing Battery Life: The battery icon has a line across it when the battery is very low. If the battery reaches 0% while recording, the camera saves the file and powers off. Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize battery life in cold conditions, keep the camera in a warm place prior to use. Shooting at higher frame rates and resolutions increases power consumption. The battery charges to 100% in approximately 6 hours when using a USB-compatible Wall or Auto Charger. Battery Storage & Handling: The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing your camera and battery to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera. The camera housing protects the camera from water damage. For more information, see Camera Housing. Do not turn on your camera if it is wet. If your camera is already on, turn it off. Allow the camera to dry thoroughly before using it again. Do not dry the camera with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera caused by contact with liquid is not covered under the warranty. HOUSING MAINTENENCE Rinse housing in cool clean water after use. Inspect O-ring carefully prior to each use: any debris on O-ring can cause leakage. Store in a cool dry area with housing door slightly open to prevent O-ring deforming. Battery Disposal: Most rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are classified as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. Many localities have laws in place requiring battery recycling. Check your local laws to make sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular trash. To safely dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from exposure to other metal with packing, masking or electrical tape so they do not cause a fire while being transported. Lithium-ion batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation’s (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. We encourage you to visit Call2Recycle at call2recycle. org or call 1-800-BATTERY in North America to find a convenient recycling location. Never dispose of a battery in a fire because it may explode. WARNING: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate or paint the camera. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera. Do not use the camera or the battery if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the battery can cause an explosion or fire.
