Important battery information
The Eye-Q Mini 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 your
batteries are low, immediately connect your camera to the computer
via USB. While connected to the PC you can change the batteries
and transfer the images. If you attempt to change the batteries
