5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use the provided wipe or a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50% every few months.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates to improve performance or add new features.

6. Troubleshooting

• Camera not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If it still doesn't turn on, try resetting the device using the crossing pin (if a reset hole is present).
• Recording issues (e.g., no recording, corrupted files): Check if a MicroSD card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. Format the MicroSD card if issues persist (this will erase all data). Ensure the card is compatible (SDHC/SDXC up to 128GB).
• Computer not recognizing the camera: Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the camera is powered off before connecting. Check if your computer's operating system drivers are up to date.
• Short battery life: Ensure the camera is fully charged. Battery performance can degrade over time. Avoid using the camera in extremely cold temperatures.
