Please follow the instructions below to insert batteries into your StyleCam Groove digital camera:

inside cover of the battery door to ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly.

3. Close the battery compartment door by sliding it back.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS:

• Do not use rechargeable battery in the StyleCam Groove. Using rechargeable batteries will

damage your camera.

• Do not open the battery door when the camera’s power is ON.

• Download the pictures prior to storing your camera. Battery power is required to maintain

images in memory. Loss of image data will occur when the batteries lose power. We

recommend that you download the images within 24 hours to avoid losing the pictures. The time

may vary depending on how many picture, video and audio files are saved on the camera, as

well as the quality of the batteries used.

• The StyleCam Groove allows up to 30 seconds for changing batteries without losing images

saved in the camera.

• Do not use new and used batteries together.

• Do not remove the batteries from camera while connecting with the PC.

• Camera RESET - If your camera is "locked" (cannot power ON for any reason), you may use the

RESET switch to "unlock" the camera. The RESET switch is located on the bottom of your

camera. Referring to the diagram in this manual, place a paperclip to the right of the reset switch

and pull inward towards the battery compartment to slide the switch to the left once (a faint beep

will sound a second later to signify that the reset is completed). The camera should now perform

normally. Please note that resetting the camera will delete all files stored on the camera.
