When not using the camera for a long period of time
0 Ensure you remove the battery and card from the camera.
When the battery is left inserted in the camera, a small amount of current will always
flow even if the camera is turned off.
If the battery is left in the camera, it may over-discharge, and be rendered unusable
even after charging.
0 Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF); recommended
humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
0 If storing for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged
once per year, fully drained in the camera, then removed from the camera and then
stored again.
0 We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
0 Check all the parts before recording when you have not used the camera for a long
