• Charging the Battery
There are four ways to charge the battery. Please fully charge the
battery for four hours before using the camera for the rst time after
purchase, and about three hours for subsequent recharging.
NOTE:
• It is normal for the camera to be slightly warm while charging the battery.
• Electric current varies for different computers. Some computers may not
provide a sufcient charging current. For a full battery charge or when
you use the camera away from your computer, we recommend the usage
of an AC adapter (DC, 5V, 500mA, optional) to charge the battery. Visit
www.izone-camera.com for detailed information on ordering an adapter
and USB connector.
• For a full battery charge, we recommend turning off the camera before
charging the battery.
• To get the best performance out of the battery, it is recommended the
camera be kept charged at all times. Especially when not in use for a
period of time, like over a month or so.
• When the camera is connected to a computer, a message may prompt
for installing the camera driver. (The message window varies for different
Windows® OS) The battery can be charged without installing the driver. Click
“Cancel” to close the message window. To install the driver, please refer to
page 58 “Installing the Software onto a Computer” for further details.

• Reset Feature
In the rare situation that the camera locks up (usually in a very low
power situation), we have incorporated a Reset button on the back of
the camera that allows the camera processor to be reset without losing
any images.
To use the Reset button, simply depress the Reset button gently
(holding for around 5 seconds) using a paper clip or ball point pen. The
camera will power off automatically. It is important to note that the
camera probably needs to be recharged immediately in order to avoid
locking up again.
