6 Important Safety Notice
Please read and observe the following notes carefully!
You must not take the camera apart, modify or repair it.
Never open the casing of the camera or the adapter; they do not contain serviceable parts!
Opening the casing increases the risk of death by electric shock.
If the camera has been dropped, or the casing has been damaged, switch the device off.
Note on isolation from supply: If the camera is connected via the mains adapter, the On/Off
switch does not completely isolate the device from the mains supply. In order to completely
isolate the device from the electricity supply, you must remove the plug from the socket. For this
reason, the camera should be set up in such a way that unhindered access to the mains socket
is available, and that the plug can, in case of an emergency, be removed immediately. To
eliminate the risk of fire, the plug should always be removed from the socket before a long
period without use, such as during a holiday. Isolate the camera from the mains supply before
storms or thunderstorms, in which there is a risk of lightning.
Take caution with the power cable: Only ever touch the power cable at the plug. Do not pull on
the cable itself, and never touch the power cable with wet hands, as this can cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Do not place either the device or pieces of furniture on the power cable,
and ensure that it is never jammed. Never get the power cable in a knot, or interconnect it with
other cables. The power cable should be positioned in such a way that nobody stands on it. A
damaged power cable can cause fire or electric shock. Check the power cable from time to
time. Should it be damaged, contact your nearest authorized customer service centre or your
dealer to get it replaced.
Keep your camera and, in particular, the accessories out of reach of children. Never allow
children to use electrical devices unsupervised. Children cannot always correctly identify
danger. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep the batteries out of reach of young children. If
a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. Packaging foil must also
be kept away from children. This could cause suffocation.
The camera and its components must not be exposed to dripping or splashed water. In addition,
no objects or containers that are filled with liquid, such as vases or glasses, must be placed on
the camera. Take particular care in rain, snow, on the beach, or near to water.
Do not use the camera in areas with high levels of humidity, moisture, smoke or dust.
Do not leave the camera in places where the temperature can rise dramatically (such as in a
vehicle). This could damage the casing and the internal components, and could cause fire.
Ensure that the camera is not too close to any direct heat sources (such as radiators) or
magnetic fields (such as loud speakers), and that it is not placed in direct sunlight for any
lengthy periods of time.
Do not place any naked flames (such as candles) or objects filled with liquid (such as vases) on
or next to the camera.
Only place the camera on stable surfaces. Otherwise the camera could fall or topple over and
cause injuries or be damaged. Do not allow the camera to fall or bang into things, and handle it
carefully.
Ensure that the display is not exposed to any impact. This could damage the glass in the
monitor or the liquid could leak out. If the liquid gets in your eyes, on your skin or on clothes,
you must wash it off immediately with clean water. If the liquid gets in your eyes, seek medical
assistance immediately.
Do not turn the camera volume up too high. This could damage your hearing.
Be particularly careful in potentially dangerous situations (such as when driving, cycling, or
jogging), or temporarily stop using the headphones. If your headphones are designed to allow
you to hear external noise, you should still only ever set the volume loud enough so that you do
not block out external noises.
We advise against using headphones when driving a car or other vehicle. Please drive carefully
and cautiously. If you notice that the device distracts you when driving, turn it off.
A risk of explosion exists if the batteries are not replaced properly. Read the Important
3
Information When Using Batteries on page 9.
Dispose of your batteries in accordance with the battery regulations. The end user is
obliged to return old batteries to a distributor, or to a returns location established for this
purpose by the legal waste disposal company. (See page 46)
Dispose of your camera and battery in
accordance with regulation 2002/96/EC (see page
46). The camera must not be disposed of in the
household waste.

10 Basic Functions
You can use your 8in1 multifunctional SilverCrest DV-767 camera as a digital video camera, digital
photo camera, MP3 player, MPEG4 video player, AV recorder, for voice recordings, as a webcam,
and as a data storage medium. How to use these functions is described in the following document,
starting on page 14. Firstly, however, you should familiarize yourself with basic functions such as
inserting and loading the battery, switching the device on and off, navigation, inserting the memory
card, and so on.
10.1 Battery
Inserting the Battery
Ensure that the device is switched off and is not
connected to the mains supply or a computer.
Open the battery case by sliding back the
battery cover
Insert the rechargeable battery so that the
battery’s connecting contacts point in the
direction of the device, and are located on the
side of the battery case hinges. Ensure that the
rechargeable battery locks into place. Finally,

in the direction shown .
Note:
To increase the life of your battery, you can save energy in the following ways:
Only use the camera rarely as a flashlight (see page 13).
Activate the automatic switch-off function (see page 28).
Please pay attention to the following information regarding the battery, and the note on the disposal
of batteries on page 46.
Important Battery Information:
lways observe the correct polarity when inserting the battery. Only replace the battery with
another battery of the same or comparable type. A risk of explosion exists if the battery is not
replaced properly.
Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of young children. If a battery
has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
Do not place the battery on a flame or source of heat. Never short-circuit the battery. Do not try
to use force to open the battery. This can result in the battery exploding, and can cause
serious injury.
Never change the batteries in surroundings that could potentially cause an explosion. When
inserting or removing the battery, sparks may occur, which could cause an explosion. Areas in
which a risk of explosion exists are often, but not always, indicated as such. These include fuel
areas, such as below deck in a boat, fuel transfer points, fuel storage areas, areas in which the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder, as well as all other
areas in which you are usually advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
See also the note on the disposal of batteries on page 46.
