4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Unfolding the Tripod

1. Hold the selfie stick firmly.
2. Gently pull the bottom part downwards to extend the tripod legs. The legs will automatically spread out to form a stable triangle support.
3. Ensure the tripod is fully extended and stable on a flat surface before placing your phone.

4.2 Attaching Your Smartphone

The HOCO K25 offers dual ways to secure your phone: magnetic attachment and a traditional clamp.

1. **Magnetic Attachment (N52 Strong Magnet):**
   • Ensure your phone is compatible with magnetic attachment (e.g., iPhone 12-16 series) or has a magnetic case/ring.
   • Align your phone's magnetic area with the magnetic holder on the selfie stick. The N52 strong magnet will provide stable adsorption.
2. **Clamp Combination:**
   • If your phone does not support magnetic attachment or for added security, use the integrated clamp.
   • Pull the clamp arms apart to expand the holder.
   • Carefully place your phone into the clamp, ensuring it is securely held within the 60-105mm range.

Important Safety Note: When using the selfie stick in high-altitude environments (e.g., extended far out, windy conditions), it is strongly recommended to use the physical clamp to secure your phone. Relying solely on the magnetic function in such conditions carries a risk of the phone falling.

4.3 Pairing the Bluetooth Remote Control

1. Ensure the remote control is charged. If not, connect it to a USB-C power source.
2. Turn on the remote control by pressing and holding the power button (usually the camera button) until an indicator light flashes.
3. On your smartphone, go to Bluetooth settings and enable Bluetooth.
4. Search for available devices. The remote control should appear as "HOCO K25" or a similar name.
5. Select the device to pair. Once paired, the indicator light on the remote will stop flashing or show a steady light.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Extending the Selfie Stick

1. With your phone securely attached, gently pull the top section of the stick upwards to extend the aluminum telescopic rod to your desired length (up to 1.5m).
2. Ensure all sections are locked in place to prevent accidental collapse.

5.2 Adjusting Phone Angle

The phone holder allows for flexible positioning:

• **Rotation:** The holder can rotate 360° to switch between horizontal and vertical screen orientations.
• **Tilt:** The holder can tilt 270° forward and backward to achieve the perfect shooting angle.

5.3 Using the Remote Control

Once paired, use the detachable Bluetooth remote control to capture photos or start/stop video recording:

• Open your smartphone's camera application.
• Press the camera button on the remote control to take a photo or start/stop video recording.

6. Maintenance

• **Cleaning:** Wipe the selfie stick and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• **Storage:** When not in use, fold the selfie stick to its compact size (56*62*248mm) and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• **Remote Control Battery:** Recharge the remote control when the battery is low. A full charge takes approximately 60 minutes and provides 2 hours of continuous use.
• **Avoid Water:** The device is not waterproof. Avoid exposure to rain or excessive moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

• **Remote Control Not Connecting:**
  • Ensure the remote control is charged and turned on.
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
  • Try unpairing and re-pairing the remote control in your phone's Bluetooth settings.
  • Ensure the remote is within the 10m transmission range.
• **Phone Not Holding Securely:**
  • Verify your phone's size is within the 4.5-7.0 inch (60-105mm clamp range) compatibility.
  • If using magnetic attachment, ensure your phone or case has strong magnetic compatibility.
  • Always use the physical clamp for maximum security, especially in dynamic environments.
• **Selfie Stick Feels Unstable:**
  • Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and spread out on a flat, stable surface.
  • Check that the telescopic rod sections are fully extended and locked.

8. User Tips

• **Battery Management:** Always ensure your remote control is fully charged before extended use to avoid interruptions during shooting.
• **Secure Your Phone:** For peace of mind, especially during active use or in windy conditions, always utilize the physical clamp in addition to the magnetic holder.
• **Experiment with Angles:** Take advantage of the 360° rotation and 270° tilt to find unique and dynamic camera angles for your content.
• **Practice Remote Use:** Familiarize yourself with the remote control's button to quickly capture moments without fumbling with your phone.
