BATTERY INFORMATION

MAxIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
A message appears on the touch display if the battery drops below 10%.
If the battery reaches 0% while recording, the camera saves the file and
powers off.
To maximize battery life, follow these guidelines when possible:
• Turn off Wireless Connections
• Turn off GPS
• Capture video at lower frame rates and resolutions
• Turn off Protune
• Use these settings:
• QuikCapture (page 28)
• Screensaver (page 82)
• Auto Off (page 82)
• Brightness (page 82)
RECORDING WHILE CHARGING
Using the USB-C cable that came with your camera, you can capture
video and photos while the camera is plugged in to a USB charging
adapter, the GoPro Supercharger, another GoPro charger, or the GoPro
Portable Power Pack. Although the battery does not charge during
recording, you can use one of the above methods to power the camera
and obtain extended recording time. When you stop recording, charging
resumes. (You cannot record while charging the camera through a
computer.)
Note: Because the side door is open, the camera is not waterproof during charging.

BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING: Using a wall charger other than a GoPro charging
device can damage the GoPro camera battery and could
result in fire or leakage. With the exception of the GoPro
Supercharger (sold separately), only use chargers marked:
Output 5V 1A. If you do not know the voltage and current
of your charger, use the included USB cable to charge the
camera from your computer.
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.
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 camera is not covered under the warranty.
Do not store your battery with metal objects, such as coins, keys or
necklaces. If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects,
this may cause a fire.
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to the camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, performance, and may void
the warranty.
