Tips and Notes
• Prior to removing the memory card, any ongoing recording should be terminated and the
time-lapse camera should be turned off.
• We recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure lasting and safe use.
Rechargeable batteries have a lower output voltage, which leads to a shorter operating time
for the camera; rechargeable batteries are also more temperature sensitive.
However, the batteries will become
fl
at in just 1-2 days if you want to set a short recording
interval (e.g. 5 seconds instead of 24 h). In this case, you should, of course, use rechargeable
batteries!
Cleaning
Clean the product only with a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. Clean the lens very carefully;
otherwise you will leave scratch marks.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents as these can cause discolouration of the housing.
Do not point any water jet (e.g. from a garden hose or even a high-pressure cleaner) on to the
product; never dip it in or below water, as it may destroy the product.
Disposal
a) General instructions
Electrical and electronic devices must not be disposed of as domestic waste!
Please dispose of the device, when it is no longer of use, according to current statu-
tory requirements.
Remove any normal or rechargeable batteries inserted and dispose of them sepa-
rately from the product.
b) Normal and Rechargeable Batteries
As end user, you are required by law (Battery Regulation) to return used batteries and
rechargeable batteries. Do not dispose of used batteries in the household waste!
Contaminated batteries/rechargeable batteries are labelled with the following sym-
bols to indicate that disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The symbols of the
relevant heavy metals are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name written
on the battery/rechargeable battery e.g. under the rubbish bin symbol on the left).
You can return your used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge at the of
fi
cial col-
lection points of your community, in our stores, or at places where batteries or rechargeable
batteries are sold.
You thereby ful
fi
l your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
