Notes on Batteries Usage
When you use the batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety
Instructions and the notes described below:
Use only the specified batteries.
Avoid using the batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures
can shorten the batteries life and reduce ViviCam 3105s performance. This

that has not been used for an extended period of time (the batteries that
passed the expiry date are exception) might affect the number of images
that can be captured. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime,
we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at
least one complete cycle before use.
The batteries may feel warm after long period of continuous use of the
ViviCam 3105s or the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
