1. Introduction
This instruction manual is intended for users of the ‘Trust PhotoCam LCD 2300’. If you have any
questions, please consult one of the Trust Customer Care Centers. You can find more
information at the back of this instruction manual.

instructions on how to read this manual.
2. Connecting / Installing
2.1 Batteries
1. The batteries are not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge them, because this may cause
an explosion.
2. Never throw the batteries onto an open fire. The batteries may explode.
3. Never drill into the batteries.
4. Keep the batteries out of the reach of small children.
5. When the batteries are empty, ask your local authority where you can dispose of them.
Digital cameras use a lot of energy. This may result in the batteries only working for a short period
of time. Although this is normal for this type of camera, Trust recommends the following to limit
the cost of use:
1. Turn the flash off when you are taking pictures in daylight.
2. Use the adapter provided when you are transferring pictures to your computer.
3. Use rechargeable batteries. Only AA NiMH batteries are suitable for this camera. Always
use NiMH batteries, because NiCd batteries are unsuitable.
2.2 Installing the batteries
Insert the batteries into the camera as follows.
Figure 1: Installing the batteries
1. Open the battery flap on the underside of the camera by pushing button A and then
sliding the battery flap downwards.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment as shown in figure 1. You can also read
