Important safety information
Read the safety information carefully before using your 4G Connected Cam (hereinafter
called the “camera”). Failure to observe these instructions may result in damage to, or loss of,
personal property, bodily injury, or even death.
 Do not place this camera under direct sunlight or near heat sources, such as in a closed
car under sunlight or near a stove. The outer casing of this camera may become deformed
and the sophisticated components inside may become damaged due to excessive heat.
 Do not use this camera without the waterproof case near water, in the rain or allow
any liquid to get inside this camera. Water and moisture may cause short-circuit to the
electronic components and lead to a malfunction.
 Do not use this camera near strong electromagnetic sources, such as a microwave oven.
The electromagnetic interference may cause this camera to malfunction.
 Do not drop or apply shock/vibration to this camera. Strong impacts may damage the
components inside.
 Do not use an unknown power adapter/battery other than the one supplied with this
camera. Connecting this camera to an unknown power adapter is very dangerous and may
lead to fire or explosion.
 Do not cut, bend, modify, place heavy objects, or step on the cable of the power adapter.
Otherwise the external insulation may be damaged and result in short-circuit or fire.
 If there are strange odors or heat emitting from this camera or any signs of malfunction,
disconnect this camera from the power immediately and contact your BenQ dealer for an
inspection or service.
 If a foreign substance or water gets in this camera, turn the power off immediately and
disconnect the power adapter. Contact your BenQ dealer to arrange a service.
 Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this camera. There are no user serviceable
parts inside this camera, and unauthorized modifications will cause the warranty to void.
 Use this camera in environmental temperatures between 0 °C to 35 °C.
 Keep good ventilation during charging. Do not cover the power adapter with paper or
objects that will reduce cooling.
 Connect the power adapter to a proper electrical outlet and power source. The voltage
requirements are found on the product packaging.
 Do not use the power adapter in a highly humid environment.
 Never touch the power adapter with wet hands.
 Do not attempt to repair the power adapter. Replace the power adapter if it is damaged
or exposed to excessive moisture. Contact your BenQ dealer or service center for help.
 The maximum operational ambient temperature (TMA) as specified by the manufacturer
is 35 °C.

Battery usage
 Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the battery.
 Use only the supplied battery. Using an unapproved battery may cause your camera to
explode and result in serious damage to your health or property.
 Do not disassemble the battery or throw the battery in fire as it may explode.
 Do not short-circuit the battery by connecting metal objects to the battery’s positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat and result in
burns or property damage.
 Keep conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains away from exposed
terminals to avoid short circuit.
 Incorrect use of the battery may cause a leak of chemicals or explosion. The leak of
chemicals may harm the skin and erode the metal contacts. If any chemicals leak from the
device, use a dry cloth to wipe it clean and contact your BenQ dealer or service center
for help.
CAUTION:
 Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
 Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Safety instructions for underwater use
 To ensure the water resistance of your camera, all covers, including the cover for the
charging port of the Live-view RC watch, must be firmly closed.
 Assemble the waterproof case to the camera and use desiccants before using the camera
in cold, humid environments or going underwater. The camera itself and the battery are
not water resistant.
 The desiccants provide limited anti-fog protection only and are not designed for long-
term use. Replace the desiccants regularly.
 The waterproof case is in compliance with the Ingress Protection Marking ratings IPX8,
meaning that, with the waterproof case assembled and locked, your camera is protected
against low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of immersion for
60 minutes in fresh water up to 60 meter deep.
 Avoid opening or closing the waterproof case near the water’s edge, such as sea, lake,
beach, and so on. Do not open or close the waterproof case lock with wet hands or
hands with sand or dust.
 Do not drop the waterproof case.
 Check the following items indoors before using the camera underwater:
 Ensure that the waterproof case is assembled to the camera correctly and locked.
 Clean the area surrounding the waterproof case lock. Ensure there is no dirt, sand or
foreign objects near it.
 Ensure that the waterproof case has no cracks or scratches. If you spot a leak, contact
your BenQ dealer for an inspection or service.
 Place and use the waterproof case only at temperatures between 0 °C to 35 °C.

10
 Avoid bumping or knocking the waterproof case underwater, or the lock may be opened.
 Do not submerge the waterproof case to highly pressurized water. Use the waterproof
case in fresh water and saltwater only. Any other liquids, such as cleaning substances or
chemicals, must be wiped off immediately.
 Do not submerge the waterproof case in water deeper than 60 meters.
 Do not submerge the waterproof case in water for more than 60 minutes. After
60 minutes of use in water, allow the waterproof case to dry for at least 10 minutes.
 If water accidentally gets inside the camera while it is in water, bring the camera out of
water immediately, and send it to the nearest service center.
 After using the waterproof case, perform the following operations:
 Come ashore for 60 minutes.
 Clean the waterproof case with running tap water. Do not use any soapy water,
detergents or alcohol to clean the case.
 Wipe off water drops on the waterproof case with a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to
wait until the waterproof case is completely dry before opening the waterproof case
lock.
 Remove the camera from the waterproof case, and rinse the waterproof case
thoroughly with clean water. Wipe the waterproof case with a dry and clean lint-free
cloth. Place the waterproof case in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally (do not place
it under direct sunlight).
