Ejecting Camera Batteries: A Step-By-Step Guide For Exilim Models

If your camera battery is stuck and you're struggling to remove it, there are a few methods you can try. Firstly, refer to your camera's manual for specific instructions. If the battery is swollen, try using strong tape to pull it out, or gently tap the camera against your hand to dislodge it. You can also try using a thin spatula or a similar tool to carefully wedge between the battery and the camera without puncturing the battery. If the battery is very swollen, you may need to use a sharp-pointed knife or pliers to remove it, but be extremely cautious to avoid puncturing the battery and causing leakage.

Orient the camera with the lens facing right and the bottom facing up

To eject the battery from your Exilim camera, first, make sure the camera lens is facing to the right and the bottom of the camera is facing up towards you. This will ensure that you have the correct orientation to access the battery compartment.

Now that you have the camera oriented correctly, you will see a piece with a label on the bottom of the camera. Grasp the camera tightly with one hand and use your thumb to press down on this labelled piece. While pressing down, slide it to the left, towards the LCD screen.

Once you have done this, the flap will swing upward, exposing the battery. You should now see a dark grey tab attached to the battery. Pull this tab away from the battery to release it from the camera's housing.

At this point, the battery is no longer secured in the camera, so you can simply grasp each side of the battery and pull it out of its compartment. Your Exilim camera's battery has now been successfully ejected and can be replaced or recharged as needed.

Press down and slide the compartment door to the left

To eject the battery of your exiln camera, you will need to first orient the camera with the lens facing to the right and the bottom of the camera facing up towards you. This will ensure that you are pressing down and sliding the correct compartment door to the left.

Once you have oriented the camera correctly, you can start the process of opening the battery compartment. Hold the camera tightly with one hand to keep it stable and in place. With your other hand, locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the camera. You should see a piece with a label on it; this is the compartment door that you will need to press down on and slide to the left.

Using your thumb, gently press down on the compartment door. While continuing to apply gentle pressure, slide the door to the left, towards the LCD screen. You should feel it give way and start to move. If you are having trouble, check that you are pressing down and sliding in the correct direction.

As you slide the door to the left, you will see the flap start to swing upward, exposing the battery inside. Now that the battery compartment is open, you can proceed to the next step of removing the battery.

Pull back the grey release lever

To eject the battery from your Exilin camera, you will need to locate the grey release lever. This lever is found inside the battery compartment, which is located at the bottom of the camera.

To open the battery compartment, gently press down on the compartment door with your thumb and slide it to the left. You can then use your index finger to gently pull back the grey release lever. This action will cause the battery to pop out slightly from its slot, making it easy to remove.

It is important to be gentle and careful throughout this process to avoid damaging any of the camera's components. Ensure that you are pulling back the correct lever, as there may be other tabs or levers in the compartment that serve different functions.

Once the battery has popped out, you can grasp it firmly on both sides and pull it out of the compartment. Now you can replace the battery with a charged one or set up your device by inserting a battery for the first time.

Remember to follow these steps in reverse order when reassembling your device and inserting the battery back into the camera.

Recharge the battery

To recharge the battery of your Exilin camera, you have a few options. You can use a power adapter or a solar panel. If you are using a power adapter, follow these steps:

• Pull out the battery from the camera.
• Open the charging port on the battery.
• Connect the battery to the power adapter using the USB cable provided.
• Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
• Allow the battery to charge completely. The orange battery indicator light means it is charging, and the green light indicates it is fully charged.

If you are using a solar panel, you will need to purchase the Reolink Solar Panel separately. Then follow these steps:

• Remove the back cover of the camera by twisting it slightly.
• Pull out the battery.
• Connect the battery to the solar panel using the USB cable.
• Place the solar panel in direct sunlight to charge the battery.

It is important to note that charging times may vary depending on the battery's remaining capacity, charging conditions, and temperature.

Additionally, do not continuously charge the battery without using it if it is already fully charged or nearly fully charged, as this may cause a deterioration in battery performance.
