GENERAL WARNINGS
When fitting batteries into the camera, check the polarity of the batteries (- and +) to ensure that you insert the
battery correctly. Incorrect polarity may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or
soiling of the battery compartment. Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period
of time. The batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries
leak, clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully if
you touch the battery fluid.
WARNING: Handling the USB cable on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling.
NOTE FOR THE BUILT-IN MEMORY
The Concord 1500 camera uses a type of internal memory that continually draws power to retain pictures and/or
video clips in the camera’s internal memory, even when the camera is powered off. If the batteries are dead
or removed for more than 30 seconds, all the pictures and/or video clips stored in the internal memory will be
lost.
If the camera detects the low battery power, it is strongly recommended, when using the internal memory for
the storage of images and /or video clips, that you transfer your images and/or video clips to the computer
promptly.
The Concord 1500 camera also works with the SD memory card which can store the pictures and /or video clips
even if the batteries are depleted or removed.
