The CAM incorporates a rechargeable lithium cell that maintains the date and
other settings even when the AC adaptor and the battery are removed.
The rechargeable lithium cell is automatically recharged when the CAM is used.
If The CAM is not used at all, the cell runs down in 5 days. In this case,
connect the AC adaptor to the CAM and turn on the power switch.
Then leave it for 24 hours. After that, set the date and other settings again.
