Please note that even if the unit is under warranty period and a breakdown is proved   that it is user’s fault, the repair will proceed with payment.  Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens.   Doing so can scratch the lens surface. Dust or any other soiling of the   lens can interfere with proper image recording. You can remove dust particles   from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the   surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.  Please be careful not to give an impact on CamBall such as dropping.   Do not keep the unit in your pocket to prevent the unit accidentally falling out of the pocket when bending over.     Please make sure CamBall is away from excess force or impact when in a bag.    Please keep the small parts and accessories of this CamBall out of the   reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician immediately.     Please keep CamBall away from intense sunlight or heat. It may cause   a breakdown.

Lamp Status when Power Saving is ON
 14***You may encounter discontinuance of audio sound when you playback files. This does not indicate a product defect. When you set CamBall to Power Saving Mode to achieve a longer battery life, CamBall goes into sleep mode and does not record when there is no motion detected after the very last motion detection. CamBall comes out of the sleep mode every 2 seconds to check if there is motion, and if it does not detect motion, then it repeats the process of going into sleep mode and checking for any motion every two seconds. However, it does not record audio when there is audio if there is no motion. This will result in discontinuance audio sound during playback.  ●  Status of CamBall Press [▽] button to check On and Off status for each function with indication of 5 different types of Green, Red, Red & Green, Red Blink and Green Blink.      Lamp Colors for each Function                              [Overwrite] - [ON]: When Memory is full, the oldest files get deleted in order. [Overwrite] - [OFF]: When Memory is full, CamBall stops recording. From the [Menu Mode], if [Memory Full Status] is ON, then Memory status lamp blinks for 5 minutes.

 17●  Three Recording Types of CamBall Recording Type can be changed by pressing [◁] button for 2 seconds in sequence. [General Recording]  ☞ [Vehicle Recording] ☞  [Security Recording]  ☞  [General Recording]    1. General Recording    In the [General Recording], the recording type lamp is Red. This type of recording is for using CamBall the same as you would with a Camcorder.    *Recording: When you press [ ]△ button for 2 seconds, CamBall starts to record and it will   end recording until the built-in battery is exhausted. *Charging: Regardless of how much battery is left, it will start to charge whenever the power adaptor   is connected to the unit.  When CamBall is in [General Recording], the recording type lamp is Red.                                Lamp Status in [General Recording]         2. Vehicle Recording      This type of recording is for using CamBall in vehicles.      *Recording: When the “Car adaptor with A/V Cable” is connected and the ignition is turned on,   CamBall starts to record immediately.    When you turn off the ignition, it will record   for 1 minute using the built-in battery of the CamBall and then stop recording. You   can change the battery recording time from 1 minute to 120 minutes, turn OFF (stop recording when the vehicle ignition is off) or ON(recording until the battery   is exhausted) from the option menu, [Vehicle Battery Time]. When the car adaptor is   not connected, press [ ]△ for 2 seconds to make the unit start recording and stop   recording until the battery is exhausted.   *Charging: To save the Battery life, it starts charging only when the battery is left less than 30%   to prevent frequent charging/discharging from frequent turning on or off of car ignition.  When CamBall is in [Vehicle Recording], recording type lamp is Green.
 18Lamp Status in [Vehicle Recording]          3. Security Recording  This type of recording is for using CamBall for security purpose.       CamBall has an “automatic recovery function”, and it automatically turns on its power when it   is provided with external power sources. If there is an electricity (a power) failure,   CamBall automatically starts to use the power from its battery. As soon as the electricity is   available to the CamBall, it automatically starts to charge the battery with electricity, and   starts recording again.   This function is very useful when you have installed the CamBall in remote places far away   from you. In the case that you have installed the CamBall in a remote place, and there happens   to be an electricity failure for some time and the electricity becomes available to the CamBall   again, then you have to go to where the CamBall is placed to turn it on, and to set it to   the “RECORD” mode. But CamBalls have an “automatic recovery function”, and free the users   from the burden. When the power adaptor is not connected, press [ ]△ for 2 seconds to make the   unit start recording.  *Recording: When the power adaptor is connected or the CamBall is turned on, it begins recording immediately.  *Charging: Regardless of how much battery is left, it will start to charge whenever the power adaptor is connected to the unit.  When CamBall is in [Security Recording] mode, the recording type lamp is Red & Green.    Lamp Status in [Security Recording]
