5.2. Charging the battery

To charge the integrated lithium ion battery, switch the camera off and connect the 

USB cable to the USB port on the 

camera. Connect the other end of 

the USB cable to the USB port on a 

computer with USB 2.0 or higher or 

a 5V and at least 500 mA USB mains 

adapter.
When charging is in progress the 

charge indicator will light up red and 

will go out as soon as the battery is 

fully charged.

5.3. Using the underwater protective housing

By using the underwater protective housing supplied, you can shoot underwater with 

the Action Camcorder, down to depths of 10 metres.
Make sure that the inside of the underwater protective housing is clean and dry before 

you put the camcorder in it. In particular, check that there is no dirt on the seal and the 

seal is undamaged before each use.

Make sure there is a memory card in the camcorder and the mode switch is set to your 

desired shooting mode.
The camera shouldn‘t be used more than one hour underwater to prevent any dama-

ges.

Note:

•  It takes a maximum of 4 hours for the battery to charge fully.

Note:

•  In order to determine whether the underwater protective housing is watertight, you can carry out the 

following test:

•  Close the underwater protective housing without a camera inside. Then completely immerse it under water 

for around 1 minute. After removing it, dry the outside of the housing and then open the housing. If the 

inside is dry then the housing is sealed.
