Getting Started
How to Insert the Batteries

2. Note the battery polarities +/- inside the battery compartment door, and insert two (2) new AA
alkaline or Ni-MH batteries.
3. Close the battery compartment cover by clicking it shut.
How to Insert a SD Memory Card
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the side of the camera.
2. Slide the SD card into the SD slot according to the arrow direction on the card and push down
gently until the card secures in the slot. Note: the label should face towards the batteries.
3. Close the battery compartment cover by clicking it shut.
4. To remove the memory card, push down on the SD card with the thumb. The card should eject,
pull out the card with the fingers.
Note:
(1) The SD card may be “locked” (write-protected). This means
that the SD card is READ-ONLY, and will not store files. When
the SD card is inserted properly, the camera will automatically
detect if the SD card is locked or unlocked. It will display a
“locked” icon on the LCD. If the SD card is locked, remove the
SD card from the camera, locate the tiny switch on the side of
the SD card and switch it to unlock position before inserting it
back in the camera. (It is best to consult the SD card
manual as the SD card may vary depending on the
brand).
(2) When the SD card is locked, the image capture mode and video capture mode will be disable.

1. Highlight the MP3 music files on the computer, right-click the mouse, and select “Copy” from the
shortcut menu.
2. Go to “My Computer” “Removable Disk E:\” (where E:\ is the SD card), right-click the mouse,
