 * To charge the battery **
 * 1) For fastest result, plug USB cord into camera and white wall adapter, then into a wall outlet. Option: use the USB cord and plug into a Mac that is plugged into a wall outlet (this may or may not work using a PC).
 * 2) ** Do not touch any buttons on the camera ** ; just plug USB cord into the appropriate slot on the side of the camera.
 * 3) Watch the front of the camera for a red light to turn on. That indicates charging. If you see a USB symbol with the battery, disconnect and try again.
 * 4) Charging should not take more than 4 hours. Disconnect camera from cord, press and hold front button about 4 seconds. Wait 1 second. If camera turns on, watch the front window for the battery indicator to display bars. If the camera does not turn on, press and hold the front button for another 4 seconds.


 * Notes **
 * 1) The time you see in the display window is the time available to record, not the battery time.
 * 2) If you change the resolution to high or use the wide-angle view battery time will shorten and size of video will increase. We suggest narrow or medium angle view. If you change the settings please change them back.
 * 3) Copy video(s) to your desktop, then import into iMovie or MovieMaker.
