Battery - GoPro Hero+ User Manual

/ Battery

Your HERO+ camera, battery, and housing are integrated. You cannot
remove the camera from the housing, or remove the battery from
the camera.
The battery icon displayed in the camera status screen blinks
when the battery drops below 10%. If the battery reaches 0% while
recording, the camera saves the file and powers off.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
To maximize battery life, close the GoPro App or turn off wireless.
Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize
battery life in cold conditions, keep the camera in a warm place prior
to use.
PRO TIP: QuikCapture helps maximize battery life. For details,
see QuikCapture (page 38).

BATTERY STORAGE AND HANDLING
The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery.
Avoid exposing your camera to very cold or very hot temperatures.
Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the
battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly.
Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the
camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera.
The integrated camera housing protects the camera and battery from
water damage. For more information, see
13). Do not turn on your camera if the camera (inside the housing)
gets wet. If your camera is already on, turn it off immediately. Allow
the camera to dry thoroughly before using it again. Do not dry the
camera or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact
with liquid (inside the housing) is not covered under the warranty.
WARNING: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform,
puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint the camera.
Do not insert foreign objects into any opening on the camera,
such as the micro-USB port. Do not use the camera if it has been
damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured, or harmed by
water. Disassembling or puncturing the integrated battery can
cause an explosion or fire.
