Important battery information
The Eye-Q Easy camera uses a type of memory that continually draws power to retain the pictures in the camera’s internal memory even if the camera is powered off. If the battery power is depleted and you have not transferred your images to the computer, you will lose them. It is strongly recommended that you transfer your images to the computer promptly and then remove the batteries to extend their life.
If you have not transferred your pictures to your computer and you receive a battery low warning, connect your camera to the computer via USB. While connected to the PC you can change the batteries and transfer the images.
Always use fresh batteries to optimize the performance of your camera.

Warning Signal
Low battery warning
When your camera has full power, the Battery indicator on the
LCD display will be fully illuminated. When the power is low, the empty battery icon will flash with 5 beep sounds and then the
camera will shut down automatically. This indicates that the
batteries are weak and need to be replaced. The pictures will remain in the camera’s memory for approximately 2 days after the camera automatically powers off. Please transfer your images to the computer promptly and replace the batteries before taking more pictures.
Full memory warning
When your camera’s memory is full, the image counter mode icon (still picture or video) on the LCD will flash together. If only the image counter flashes, the memory is almost full.
Note: Be sure to upload all images to your computer before changing the batteries. All images will be lost if there is insufficient battery power inside the camera.
Note: The counter in each mode will show the number of pictures captured. To see the number of remaining pictures, hold the power button down for 1 second.
