3.1 Charging up Your Camera
Charge your camera with either the USB cable or AC/DC adapter. The red LED will light up to indicate
the camera is charging and it will turn off once the camera has been fully charged. It takes about 3
hours to fully charge the camera.
3.2 Inserting a Memory Card
Insert a MicroSD card up to 64GB (not included) before using your camera. Ensure that the camera
power is turned OFF before inserting the card into the slot.
Notes:
1. There is only one correct direction to insert the MicroSD card into the slot. Do not force the card
into the card slot as it may damage both the camera and the MicroSD card.
2. A new MicroSD card should be formatted before using. For more information, please see section
4.2.
3. We recommend a class 10 SDHC card.
3.3 Setting up Date and Time

3.5 Recording Videos
Before starting to record, select the video resolution using the Video Resolution Switch.
There are two methods for starting the video recording function. When the camera starts recording,
there will be a short vibration indicating recording has started. The LED indicator illuminates GREEN
throughout recording.
1. Whether the camera power is ON or OFF, simply slide the Recording Slide Switch
from STOP to REC to start recording.
EN-5
2. When your camera is OFF and the Recording Slide Switch is at REC location, it will
start recording.
To stop Recording, move the Recording Slide Switch from REC to STOP. The camera will
then enter the Standby mode.
An additional option is to hold the Power button to stop the recording and turn the camera off.
Notes:
1. An additional 432x240 (w/ 1080p/720p) video file will be created simultaneously with the
recording of an HD/FHD video file. The smaller video file size allows for more efficient uploading
of content to social media platforms and email.
2. Changing video resolution is disabled during video recording.
3. There will be around 1-2 seconds delay before the camera starts recording.
4. The various video resolution options for HD and FHD can be changed under the “Settings”

2. Screw the CamLOCK until it is tight on the camera.
4.3 Mounting on Your Helmet

helmet.

2. Install the ball joint to the helmet mount and tighten the nut.
3. Adhere one side of the double faced adhesive to the base of
the helmet mount, then peel and stick the other side to the
helmet to permanently secure the mount to the helmet.

Ensure that the ball joint nut is tightened securely.
Notes:
1. The CamLOCK system allows you to change the angle of the camera. Simply loosen the nut,
