Batteries
Before operating your DualCam 300, you need to load the batteries as shown
below:
1. Push down with your thumb on the top of the battery compartment and slide
the cover off the camera.
2. Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries into the camera, and make sure the batteries’
+ and – symbols match the symbols in the case.
3. Slide the battery cover back in place.
4. Press and hold down the Power/Mode button about 1 second. The Camera
will beep indicating that it is ready to use (Default setting). If this does not
happen, replace the batteries with known good ones. If you are still unable
to get your camera to work, please contact Technical Support.
NOTE: The camera will power down automatically if it is not used for 30-45
seconds to conserve battery life. It will beep to indicate that it is off.
Battery Status Indicator
The battery status indicator is a three-segment indicator as defined below.
When the battery is full, three segments are shown. The voltage is
about 3 volts.
When the voltage drops down to 2.8 volts, the camera will sound a
warning tone and the left part of the battery icon will disappear.
When the battery is almost exhausted (lower than 2.5 volts), the
battery icon displays an empty battery for a short time, and the
camera powers off automatically.
NOTE: Always make sure to download pictures before your batteries run out.
Loss of battery charge may result in loss of stored pictures. The camera
constantly draws power from the batteries if the camera is not connected to the
PC. To ensure that the batteries stay fresh, remove them if you do not intend to
use the camera within the next few days. Make sure to transfer any pictures
stored in the camera to your PC prior to removing the batteries from your
camera, and prior to letting the batteries run down.

panel and an alarm sounds.
