General Precautions
Liquid Crystal Digital Camera QV-10
Be sure to observe the following imporatnt precautions whenever us-
ing the QV-10.
• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating
a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the danger of
serious accident.
• Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electrical
shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work
up to authorized CASIO service providers.
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it
get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore
or beach, in the bathroom, etc.
• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the unit, immediately
turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and
contact your dealer or nearest CASIO service provider. Using the
unit under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical
shock.
• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the
unit, immediately turn power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the
power outlet. Using the unit under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. After making sure there is no more
smoke coming from the unit, take it to your nearest CASIO service
provider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
• If the unit’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or
otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn power
off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your
nearest CASIO service provider.
• Never use the unit inside of an air craft or in any other areas where
its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident.

General Precautions
• Physical damage and malfunction of this unit can cause the image
data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep
backup copies of data by recording them on video tape or by transferring them to personal computer memory.
• Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC
adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while the
“WAIT” message is on the LCD. Doing so will not only make storage
of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data
already stored in camera memory.
Other Precautions
Liquid Crystal Digital Camera QV-10
MEMORY ERROR message
The following error appears on the built-in monitor whenever the
camera’s flash memory becomes disabled due to malfunction or improper operation.
Whenever this happens, all of the digital images stored in the
camera’s memory will be lost. You will not be able to view stored
images or record new ones. Take your camera to your dealer or an
authorized CASIO service provider as soon as possible after the
MEMORY ERROR message appears.
Operating conditions
• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0°C
to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.
— In areas subject to direct sunlight
— In areas subject to high humidity or dust
— Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to tem-
perature extremes
— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun
— In areas subject to strong vibration
Other Precautions Liquid Crystal Digital Camera QV-10
Condensation
• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility
that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you
should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic
bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder
than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air
inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the
new location. If condensation does form, remove the batteries from
the camera and leave the battery compartment cover open for a few
hours.

Be sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading or replacing batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment lock on the bottom of the
camera in the direction indicated by arrow (1), and swing
open the battery compartment cover as indicated by arrow
(2).
2. Insert four batteries.
Be sure to use only AA-size Alkaline batteries. Never use
manganese batteries (see precautions on the next page).
• Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the
batteries are facing correctly.
Getting Acquainted
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
A
• Press down on the battery compartment cover at the point
marked A in the nearby illustration until the cover locks into
place with a click.
Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst
and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.
Never load manganese batteries into
the camera! Doing so not only results
Caution
• Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries
are facing properly when you load them in the camera.
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for
more than two weeks.
• Never mix old batteries with new ones.
• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between
two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
in shortened battery life, it also causes
batteries to generate heat that can
cause serious damage to the camera.
Always use Alkaline batteries only.
Power Supply
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious
damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as
soon as you notice they are dead.
Standard Battery Life
You can generally expect to get about 120 minutes of operation from
a fresh set of LR6 (AM3) Alkaline batteries at normal temperature.
Note that battery life is shortened by extreme cold.
25
26
Getting Acquainted
Low Battery Indicator
A low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD whenever remaining battery power drops below a certain level.
When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set
of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect
only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.
Flash Memory
The QV-10 features flash memory for storage of images. Flash
memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.
