Precautions
General precautions
Please take note of the following guidelines when using your Stealth 2 camera:
• The camera is 1.2m shock resistant, but not shock proof—please take care of
your camera and accessories, mounting and storing them securely.
• For your safety, do not press the buttons on the camera during sports activities
• Do not store the camera anywhere prone to dust or damp for extended periods
of time.
• Do not leave the camera exposed to extremely high temperatures—such as
under direct sunlight—for extended periods of time as this may affect the
camera housing and internal components.
• Clean the lens and screen with a micro fibre, antistatic cloth to remove
fingerprints or dust—no cleaning chemicals are required.
• The camera has a working temperature range of -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• Power o the camera before removing the memory card as stored data may
be damaged if it is removed or inserted while the camera is powered on.
• Remove the memory card before storing the camera for long periods of time.
Weather resistance
The Stealth 2 is engineered to be resistant to dust, snow, rain and splashes.
The camera is NOT waterproof without the waterproof case.
• Operating the camera at temperatures below 0°C reduces battery life and
lowers battery performance.
• Do not charge the battery at temperatures below 0°C.
• Clean o any salt water or dirt from the camera immediately and prior storing.
• Do not subject the camera to a sudden impact of water—the camera should
always be used in the waterproof case under intensive water-based applications.
Attention
! Rechargeable batteries are only to
be charged under adult supervision.
! DO NOT open, puncture or
otherwise damage the internal
rechargeable battery, or dispose of
it in fire.
! DO NOT attempt to open the
camera body or disassemble for
any reason. This will instantly nullify
the standard warrnty, and risks
damaging the internal battery.
! Optimal Camera Storage
We recommend users store cameras
for a minimum of 6-12 hours with the
Back Hatch open, in less then 30%
humidity.
Never open the Back Hatch in damp
or humid conditions if possible.
Disclaimer
Drift Innovation will not, under any
circumstances, be responsible for
injuries or property damaged incurred
during participation of any high-risk
sport or activity not endorsed or
recommended by Drift Innovation.
Remember that the warranty will only
cover manufacturing defects.

Battery life
At a temperature of 25°C (77°F), with all power saving features o and the camera

o), on a full charge (see Conserving Battery Life, p18).

If the external power is cut o for any reason during recording, the camera will
immediately start drawing power from the rechargeable battery instead and
continue recording, protecting your footage from file corruption.
