● Avoid using or storing the camera in the following places:
• Places subject to humidity, dust and dirt
• Places subject to direct sunlight
• Places subject to high or low temperature
• Places filled with highly flammable gas
• Places near gasoline, benzene or paint thinner
• Places subject to strong vibrations
• Places subject to smoke or steam
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as electric motors, transformers or magnets)
• Places contacting chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for a long period
● Do not expose the camera to sand or dust.
The PDR-2300 is particularly sensitive to sand and dust. If the camera comes into contact with sand or
dust, not only will the camera become damaged, it will also no longer be repairable. Pay special attention
when using the camera at the beach or where sand or dust is likely to be present.
● Condensation
Due to a sudden change in temperature, such as when you move the camera from a cold location to a warm
one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs,
turn the camera OFF and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the SD
Memory Card. If this happens, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any condensation and wait a short
time before using it again.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)
● Carrying out maintenance on your camera
• To prevent the lens, surface of the LCD monitor or viewfinder from being scratched, blow off any dust from
these parts with a blower brush and lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as paint thinner,
benzene or insecticide, as these may react with the camera body and cause deformation or remove the
coating.

To extend the use of the camera, we strongly recommend that you only use the following types of batteries:
• AA Alkaline batteries (Not Rechargeable): LR6AG (Toshiba)
• AA Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (Rechargeable): TH-3 (Toshiba)
The camera does not have a rechargeable function. Please use the battery charger on the market when
recharging the Nickel Hydride (Ni-MH) battery.
• AA Lithium battery (Not Rechargeable)
● Notes on batteries other than the recommended batteries
AA Manganese batteries cannot be used in this camera.
Please be careful to purchase the proper batteries.
For consideration of the environment, we do not recommend the use of AA Nickel Cadmium batteries.
● Note on Battery Life
The battery life may vary depending on individual brand of the battery, length of storage since
manufacture, temperature of the camera and batteries, and operating condition such as flash. Moreover, if
the polarities of the batteries (+ or -) and the terminal of the camera that come in contact with the
electrodes are contaminated, electricity will not flow properly and the camera will decide that the batteries
are exhausted. When removing and loading the batteries, be careful not to touch these parts. If the parts
are contaminated, clean them with a dry cloth.
When using the supplied AA Alkaline batteries, the number of photographs that can be taken are shown
as below.
Conditions: 25°C, Flash use rate 100%,LCD ON
Photography interval: 1 frame every 30 seconds
Possible number of shots: 100 shots
• The number of frames shown above is a reference value.
Handling the Batteries (continued)
● Method of Extending Battery Life
Even if the camera is turned off, the battery power is slightly consumed. We strongly recommend that you
remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period of time. However, removing the
batteries will return the date and time settings to the default values. If this happens, reset them.
Low temperatures can also affect the performance of the battery . We recommended that you keep the camera
and batteries warm to prevent from cold by placing them in clothes.
Furthermore, the battery performance affected by low temperature, resulting in decreasing the possible shots,
will restore its function when batteries return to the adequate temperature (25°C).

● Cautions
The SD memory card includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory (NAND Flash EEP-ROM).
Under normal use, data saved in the SD memory card is not damaged or lost. If used improperly,
however, the data may be damaged or lost. Please be aware that Toshiba Corporation will accept no
responsibility whatsoever for damaged or lost data, regardless of the type or cause of the problem or
damage.
The SD memory card uses part of the memory as its system area. The actually usable memory capacity
is therefore lower than the indicated capacity.
The supplied SD memory card has been already formatted for image storage. Always use this camera
when reformatting the card to erase images or folders. Formatting the SD memory card on other devices
(PC, etc.) may result in problems such as inability to read or write data.
We strongly recommend that you make backups of important data.
When the SD memory card comes to the end of its life, it does not allow image data to be written or
deleted. If this happens, purchase a new SD memory card.
● Write Protection
To prevent valuable data from being erased accidentally, switch the write protect tab at the side of the SD
memory card to “LOCK.” To save, edit, or erase data in the card, cancel the write protection state.
