1. Setup
1.1 Charging the Camera
Before first use, fully charge the XD1080 camera. Connect the camera to a USB power source using the provided USB cable. The charging indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged.
1.2 Inserting the Micro SD Card
- Locate the Micro SD card slot on the camera.
- Gently insert a compatible Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher recommended) into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted with the correct orientation.
- To remove, push the card in slightly until it springs out.
1.3 Attaching the Suction Cup Mount
- Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth (e.g., glass, polished metal, non-porous plastic).
- Attach the XD1080 camera to the mount's universal adapter.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the desired surface.
- Flip the lever on the suction cup base down to create a vacuum seal, securing the mount.
- Adjust the camera angle using the articulated arm and locking knobs. Ensure all knobs are tightened before use.
1.4 Connecting the External Microphone
- Locate the external microphone input port on the XD1080 camera.
- Plug the external microphone's 3.5mm jack firmly into the camera's microphone input.
- Position the microphone for optimal audio capture, away from wind noise if possible.
2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Powering On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the Power button until the indicator light illuminates.

2.3 Using the External Microphone
When the external microphone is connected, the camera will automatically prioritize audio input from the external microphone over the internal microphone. No additional settings are typically required.
2.4 Transferring Files
- Connect the camera to a computer using the USB cable. The camera will appear as a removable storage device.
- Alternatively, remove the Micro SD card and insert it into a compatible card reader connected to your computer.
- Drag and drop video files from the camera/SD card to your computer.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Camera and Mount
- Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the camera body and lens.
- For the suction cup, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Ensure the suction cup is free of dust and debris for optimal adhesion.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
3.2 Storage
Store the camera and accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the Micro SD card if storing for extended periods.
3.3 Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for a long time, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
