Radio Interference
This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B igital evice in
accordance with specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable
protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. The equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not instaled and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference toradio or television reception (which you can determine by
turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the anttenna for radio or television that is
“receiving” the interference).
• Change the positoin of the receiver with resp-ect to the radio or television equipment that is
receiving interference.
• Move the receiver away from equipment receiving interference.
• Plug the receiver into a different wall outlet so the receiver and equipent receiving interference
are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Oommunications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, .C. 20402. Please specify the stock
number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

First Things First
Attach the Strap
ropping a camera can cause serious damage both
internally and externally. So, to secure your investment,
attach the hand strap first thing, and use it every time.
1. Insert the small loop at the end of the strap under the
strap eyelet.
2. Insert the other end of the strap through the loop to tie
the strap onto the strap eyelet.
Power Supply
This digital camera features two ways to supply power
to it; either use four batteries (size AA) or the included
AC adapter.
Inserting Batteries
1. On the bottom of the camera, slide the battery
chamber cover out in the direction of the large
arrow (as shown in the diagram to the right) to
open it. A click can be heard when the
compartment is released.
2. Insert four (4) AA batteries. Make sure to match
the positive and negative ends of the batteries to the
markings inside the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery chamber cover by pushing down firmly and
sliding it back until the latch closes with a click.
Important Notes!
• Never use manganese batteries.
• Your camera will not work if the batteries are inserted incorrectly.
• Remove batteries from camera if it will not be used for more than two
weeks.
• Never mix old batteries with new ones.
• Never mix batteries of different types.

or leak caustic materials into the environment.

Important Notes!
•Be sure to use the supplied AC adapter only. Using any other AC
adapter may cause damage to the camera, voiding the warranty.
•When unplugging the AC Adapter from the wall socket, be sure to grasp
the plug (not the cord).
•Avoid undue bending, pulling, or twisting of the AC adapter cord.
•If the power cord should become damaged (exposed wires, disconnection,
etc.), please contact the store to purchase a new AC adapter. Use of a
damaged power cord may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Be sure to power off your camera before connecting or disconnecting
the adapter.
•The AC adapter may become warm to the touch after extended periods
of use.This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
The supplied AC adapter will allow the
digital camera to operate without batteries
