than 2GB.
BATTERY CHARGING
Note: Adult operation required.
To charge the battery, connect the camera to a computer using the
included micro-USB cable.
• Make sure that the Master Power switch is in the On position before
charging.
• Pull up the rubber cover of the Micro-USB Port on the side of
the camera.
• Insert the micro-USB cable (small end) into the Micro-USB Port of
the camera.
• Insert the large end of the micro-USB cable into a USB port on your
computer. A USB port is usually marked with this symbol: .

7
• Once the connection is successful, you will see the battery charging
symbol appear on the camera's screen.
• When the battery is fully charged, a message will appear on the
camera's screen. The screen will then automatically turn Off. You
may now disconnect the camera from your computer.
Note: It will take approximately three hours to fully charge the battery.
The actual charging time depends on the power supply, the remaining
charge and the ambient temperature of the charging environment. The
optimal ambient temperature is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
BATTERY LIFE
The time the battery lasts between charges varies depending on
how the camera is used. Like other electronic devices, more frequent
usage means that the battery will drain faster. Some activities place
higher demands on the battery, such as taking photos and videos.
With continuous shooting, the battery will last approximately 2-3 hours.
With average usage, the battery should last approximately 8-12 hours.
When the battery level is low, we recommend that you recharge the
battery before further use. When the battery is depleted, the camera will
not turn on and must be recharged.
Power Saving
To preserve battery life, the Kidizoom®PixiTM camera will automatically
turn Off after a short period of time without user input. When recording
a video or listening to music with the Music Player, the camera will not
automatically turn Off until the recording or music has nished.
Battery Maintenance
• Charge the battery regularly for best performance, even when the
camera is not in daily use. We recommend that you fully charge the
camera at least once every six months. Move the Master Power
switch to the On position before charging the battery.
• Move the Master Power switch to the Off position when the camera
will not be in use for an extended period of time.
BATTERY NOTICE
Misuse of batteries can lead to them bursting, causing a re or chemical
burn. Please follow these precautions:
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not crush and do not expose the battery to any shock or force
such as hammering, dropping or stepping on it.
• Do not short circuit.

8
• Do not expose to high temperatures or place near a heat source. Do
not leave in direct sunlight for any length of time.
• Do not dispose of in a re.
• Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
• Keep the battery dry.
• If you nd the time between charges is considerably shortened with
no change in usage, the battery could be nearing the end of its life.
The battery life varies from battery to battery depending on storage,
usage and environment.
• Examine the USB cord periodically for conditions that may result in
the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons such as damage to
the cord, housing, or other parts. In the event of such conditions, the
cord should not be used until properly repaired or replaced.
MEMORY CARD INSTALLATION
The Kidizoom®PixiTM camera supports
microSD and microSDHC memory cards
(not included) to expand media storage.
Follow these instructions to use a
memory card:
• Make sure the camera is turned Off.
• Locate the Memory Card slot on the
side of the camera.
• Open the rubber cover.
• Insert your microSD or microSDHC
card as illustrated. The memory card
will now automatically be set as the default storage location for all
les.
• To remove the memory card from the slot, push the card once, and it
will eject.
NOTE: Data stored in the camera's internal memory will not
be accessible when a memory card is being used. To prevent
