II) Camera Precautions
Notice the following guidelines when using your camera
• The ATC5K is shock resistant, not shock proof.
• For your safety, do not press the buttons on the camera during sports activities.
• Do not place the camera in areas prone to dust or damp for extended periods of time.
This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
• Do not leave the camera in places exposed to extremely high temperatures, such as
under direct sunlight, for extended periods of time. This may affect the camera housing
and internal components.
• Clean the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or dust.
• We recommend using Alkaline batteries in temperatures between 32°F to 104°F (0°C
to 40°C).
• The working temperature range of a normal Alkaline AA battery is 32°F to 104°F (0°C
to 40°C). Above or below this temperature may cause the batteries to malfunction,
therefore for use in low temperature, we recommend changing to Lithium batteries.
• Turn the camera off before removing the batteries or memory card. The card and the
data may be damaged if the memory card is inserted or removed while the camera is
still on.
• Remove the batteries and memory card before storing the camera for long periods of
time. Keep it in a well-ventilated place to prevent mould.
• Under the following circumstances, have the camera repaired by qualified personnel:
a) The plug is damaged or worn.
b) The device has been dropped and/or the housing has been damaged.
c) Liquid has entered the camera.
