Install battery 

The camera uses four AAA alkaline batteries (not included) or a rechargeable lithium 

battery (included). Open the battery cover and insert the battery. Be sure to insert with the 

+ of the battery matching the + indicator on the camcorder. Replace the battery cover. 

Your battery should be CHARGED before use. It may be charged in the camera through 

the USB port. Connect the USB cable to your camcorder and then to a POWERED USB 

port on your computer or to a universal USB type wall charger (not included). 

Install SD/MMC memory card 

Open the battery cover and insert the SD/MMC memory card with the contacts facing the 

camcorder into the card groove in on the camcorder in accordance with the diagram on 

the card groove. To remove the memory card, press the SD/MMC memory card and then 

remove it.

                  NOTE!           

 

Be sure to turn off the power on the camcorder before changing the memory card. 

 

Insert the card in the correct direction. DO NOT use too much force to insert the 

card. Doing so may cause damage to the card or the parts of the camera. If the card 

is difficult to insert, verify that the direction is correct. 

 

Memory cards being used for the first time or that have been used on other 

cameras MUST be formatted before use.
