WATERPROOFNESS
The camera is resistant to submersion up to a depth of 12 meters. Before submerging, ensure that the covers on the side and bottom of the camera are properly closed. The cover and the sealing must be free of dust, dirt, sand, etc. The camera is not waterproof with the covers open or incorrectly closed! Do not open the camera covers before the camera body is dry. If the camera was used in salt water, wash it with drinking water afterward. Do not dry the case with textile fabrics or external heat sources (hair dryer,
microwave etc.), always leave the camera to air dry on its own.

MICROSD CARD
Choose a brand memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB with a write speed of at least 100 Mb/s, at least tge type USH-I U3 or faster (for smooth operation, we recommend faster cards of the UHS-II U3 type). Before using the SD card in the camera for the first time, the card must be formatted on a PC to a FAT32 file system. Only format the card using software designed for the purpose. Insert the memory card into the PIN slot facing the front of the camera with the selfie display. Insert the MicroSD card into the camera by clicking it in place. Remove by reversing the motion.
Recommendation: regularly format the memory card on a PC to avoid video writing errors. For more information about using or formatting memory cards, contact the manufacturer of the SD card.

BATTERY/CHARGING
To insert or remove the battery, open the cover on the camera’s underside (press the button on the cover and extend the cover). Charge the camera by connecting the enclosed  USB cable to the USB port () on the left side of the camera and connecting the other end to a charging adapter, e.g. from a mobile phone (5 V voltage and minimum current of  1 A). The camera can also be charged by connecting the USB cable to a PC or a power bank.

Attention: fully charge the battery before first use. Do not subject the camera to large temperature swings. Keep the battery and camera under watch during charging. Charge time is dependent on the output current of the charging adapter.
