Inserting Batteries

• 

To get started, insert two AAA batteries into the battery cartridge. Always insert the + side of the battery first, before snapping

the - side firmly into place.

• 

Now insert the cartridge, with the two contact points leading, into back of your Micro camera. Make sure the red latch locks

firmly over the cartridge.

• 

For batteries, we recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium. These give the longest battery life. In cold weather use ONLY this

kind of battery. You may also make use of brand-name rechargeable AAA batteries.

• 

Rechargeable batteries, while saving money, will not last as long - especially in cold weather. And there is a chance that

you will lose the last file you are recording due to a sudden drop in power.
