Questions answered in these manuals
How do I attach and detach the lens on the Model 600 SE?
Insert the lens aligning the red dot on the barrel with the red dot on the camera body, turn clockwise until the dot is on top, and lock it in place; to remove, press the lens release button and turn counter‑clockwise.
How should the lens be cleaned?
Blow off dust, then gently wipe with a clean lint‑free cloth; for fingerprints use a drop of lens‑cleaning fluid and lens tissue, never silicone‑coated eyeglass tissue.
What should I do if the printer jams before printing?
Turn off the printer, open the paper tray door, remove the photo paper, reload it correctly, and close the tray.
How do I charge the battery?
Install the battery, connect the AC adapter to the printer and a power source, and charge for about 2.5 hours.
