e the
Safety Instructions
and the notes described
•
Use only the specified ba
tt
eries.
•
Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery
life and reduce camera pe
rf
ormance. This low temperature will also influence
Alkaline battery pe
rf
ormance, therefore Ni-MH rechargeable ba
tt
eries are highly
recommended.
•
When you are using new rechargeable ba
tt
eries or rechargeable batteries that
have not been used for an extended period of time (batteries that have passed the
expiration date are exceptions) it can affect the number of images that can be
captured. To maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend an initial
full charge and discharge cycle. This will allow the full capacity to be used.
•
The batteries may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of ViviCam 7330
or the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
•
The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal
and not a malfunction.
•
If the ba
tt
eries are not to be used for a long period of time, remove it from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
•
If the ba
tt
eries are not to be used for a long period of time, store it after no battery
power is left. If the ba
tt
eries are stored for a long time in a fully charged state, its
performance may be impaired.
•
Always keep the ba
tt
eries terminals clean.
•
There is a risk of explosion if the ba
tteri
es are replaced by an incorrect type.
•
Dispose of used batte
ri
es according to the recycle instructions.
•
Never use ba
tt
eries of different types (together) or mix old and new ba
tt
eries.
•
Never use manganese batteries.

PREPARING YOUR VMCAM 7330
Preparation
1.
Attach the camera strap.
2.
Open the battery/SD memory card cover.
3.
Inse
rt
the batteries with correct orientation
as shown.
4.
Insert an SD memory card (Optional).
•
ViviCam 7330 has 22MB internal
memory for image storage but you can
load an SD memory card to expand the
camera's memory capacity.
•
Be sure to format the memory card with
this camera before its initial usage.
5. Close the battery/SD memory card cover
and make sure it is locked securely.
•
Be careful not to drop the batteries when opening or closing the battery cover.
■
Due to the characteristics of alkaline ba
tteri
es, camera performance may be less than
expected. AA alkaline batteries are recommended only in case of emergency and for checking
the camera's functions. Ni-MH rechargeable ba
tt
eries are a superior choice for performance
and economy.
■
To prevent valuable data from being accidentally erased from an SD card, you can slide the
write protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card) to "LOCK".
■
To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock the card.
