MAINTENANCE

Follow these guidelines to get the best performance from your camera:
• The camera is waterproof to 33' (10m)—no housing needed. Ensure
that the doors are closed before using the camera in or around water,
dirt, or sand.
• Before closing the doors, be sure the seals are free of debris. If
needed, clean the seals with a cloth.
• Before opening the doors, be sure the camera is free of water or
debris. If needed, rinse the camera with fresh water and dry it with a
cloth.
• If sand or debris hardens around the doors, soak the camera in warm
tap water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to remove the
debris before opening the doors.
• In wet environments, dry the touch display with a soft cloth so that it
registers your touch.
• For best audio performance, shake the camera or blow on the
mic to remove water and debris from the microphone holes. To
prevent damage to the internal waterproof membranes, do not use
compressed air to blow into the mic holes.
• After every use in salt water, rinse the camera with fresh water, and
dry it with a soft cloth.
• To clean the lens or the lens cover, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. If
debris becomes lodged between the lens and the trim ring, flush it out
with water or air. Do not insert foreign objects around the lens.

BATTERY INFORMATION

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Your HERO7 Silver camera and battery are integrated. You cannot remove
the battery from the camera.
The battery icon displayed on the touch display blinks and shows a battery
low message when the battery drops below 10%. If the battery reaches 0%
while recording, the camera saves the file and powers off.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize battery
life in cold conditions, keep camera in a warm place prior to use.
When you are not using HERO7 Silver, rotate it in the frame so the Shutter
button is covered to prevent the camera from accidentally
turning on.
Note: To prevent the frame from marking the surface of your camera, leave the latch on
the frame open when storing your camera in a frame for a long period of time.
If the storage becomes full or the battery runs out of power while recording
video, your camera automatically stops recording and saves the video before
powering off.
To maximize battery life, follow these guidelines when possible:
• Turn off Wireless Connections
• Use these settings:
• QuikCapture (page 26)
• Screensaver (page 37)
• Auto Off (page 37)
• Brightness (page 37)
