Before using this product, please be sure to pay attention to the following instructions:
The Act20 Action Camera can be used up to 20 meters under water without using any extra waterproof case. However this feature requires extra care to increase your camera’s life

1. WHENEVER THE CAMERA IS EXPOSED TO SALT (SEA WATER) / CHLORINE (POOL WATER) / SAND, BE SURE TO RINSE IT WITH FRESH WATER. (JUST LIKE HUMANS ALSO TAKE BATH IN FRESH WATER AFTER SWIMMING)

2. Wipe it with clean water & let is dry fully :before putting the charging cable, or before removing the  battery lid to remove memory card or replace battery .

3. Due to contact with water & after using for few times, the 4 charging points may be oxidized and the camera may not charge using the provided charging cable – don’t worry. Simply wipe the 4 charging points with diluted industrial alcohol (after shave lotion or nail polish remover) dipped in cotton cloth & it will work fine!

4. Action camera is for outdoors, so for best results record in outdoors with proper lighting (Do not test clarity Indoors as it will not give true results)

5. Always use U3, V30 & above, High speed microSD memory card for recoding good quality videos – using low quality card will not give proper results

6. Peel off the transparent lens sticker before using

7. There are 2 transparent protective thin plastic films on both screens : front & main screen
   This is for protecting the screens and not required to be removed immediately & may be kept as long as they are good
   These 2 protective films might get scratched over time but this is to prevent the main screens & will not affect the video quality
   With protective films the video resolution might not appear too sharp on the camera screens but the recorded video will still be crystal clear as per chosen resolution

8. This is a high-end professional camera with many inbuilt features – hence we strongly recommend to read the User Manual fully before 1st usage

9. Media Clarity may drop when sharing using social media apps like Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook,  Instagram etc. This has nothing to do with the camera video quality

10.1 Batteries Safety

• WARNING : KEEP NEW OR OLD USED BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice immediately.
• If a radio or a battery has been submerged in water, please dry and clean it before use. Do not dry the radio or battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven. If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive substance (egsaltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water, then dry them.

10.2 Warnings for storage and disposal of batteries

• Since batteries are sensitive to high temperatures when storing them, keep them in a cool and dry place. The recommended temperature should be between +10 ℃and +25℃and never exceed +30℃. Batteries should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers nor in direct sunlight. Extremes of humidity (below 35% and above 95% relative humidity for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to both batteries and packing. Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperatures provided special precautions are taken . Also, accelerated warming is harmful.

Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas;
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
10.3 Warning that the battery can be replaced by ordinary users,

• Turn off your radio before removing or installing a battery. Store spare batteries securely. Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely.
• The battery supply terminals are not to be short-circuit.
• Do not replace the battery in any area labeled “Hazardous Atmosphere”. Any sparks created in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause explosion or fire.
• When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touches exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects;
• Dirty battery contacts need to be wiped with clean dry cloth, both on the battery and in the appliance.
• Batteries should be removed from the appliance when not being used for long periods of time (months). The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packaging (such as sealed plastic bags or variants) which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient temperature.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the equipment.
• Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries. Batteries should be dismantled only by trained people.
• Disposal of a battery into fire, or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in explosion;

10.4 Equipped with charger, recommended charging guide for secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries)

• Batteries shall be charged at 10℃~40℃ environment temperature specified. If the environment temperature is lower than 0℃, the charge shall be prohibited.
• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults or by children at least 8 years old under adult supervision.
