4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to attach your SJCAM action camera to the magnetic lanyard:
- Prepare the Camera: Ensure your SJCAM action camera is clean and free of debris.
- Insert Camera into Holder: Gently slide your compatible SJCAM action camera into the designated holder on the magnetic lanyard. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Attach Magnetic Base: The lanyard features a magnetic base. Position this base on the inside of your clothing (e.g., shirt, jacket) at the desired height.
- Secure Camera Holder: Align the camera holder (with the camera inserted) on the outside of your clothing, directly over the magnetic base. The strong magnets will snap together, securing the camera to your clothing.
- Adjust Lanyard: The lanyard rope is adjustable. Use the sliding adjusters to achieve a comfortable and secure fit around your neck, preventing the camera from swinging excessively.

6. Safety Precautions
- Pacemaker Warning: Due to the strong magnets, individuals with pacemakers or other medical implants should NOT use this product.
- Secure Attachment: Always ensure the camera is firmly seated in the holder and the magnetic connection is strong before engaging in activities.
- Avoid Extreme Activities: While designed for action cameras, extreme high-impact activities may dislodge the camera. Use with caution.
- Children: Keep out of reach of small children due to small parts and strong magnets.
7. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the plastic components with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the lanyard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the lanyard and camera holder for any signs of wear, damage, or weakening of the magnetic connection.
8. Troubleshooting
- Camera does not fit: Ensure you have the correct magnetic lanyard model (ML100, ML200, ML300) for your specific SJCAM action camera (C100/C110+, C200/C200 Pro, C300 Pocket).
- Magnetic connection feels weak: Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g., thick clothing, foreign objects) between the magnetic base and the camera holder. The magnets are designed for standard clothing thickness.
- Lanyard feels uncomfortable: Adjust the sliding mechanisms on the lanyard rope to find a comfortable fit around your neck.
