Setup

1. Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the camcorder's internal lithium-ion battery. Connect the supplied USB-A to micro-USB cable to the camcorder's micro-USB port and the other end to a powered USB port (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged. A full charge takes approximately 2-3 hours and provides up to 80 minutes of continuous recording.

2. Inserting the Micro SD Card

The camcorder requires a Micro SD card for storing recordings. An 8GB card is included, supporting up to 4 hours of footage. The device supports Micro SD cards up to 32GB.

1. Locate the Micro SD card slot on the side of the camcorder (refer to Figure 2).
2. Gently insert the Micro SD card into the slot with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place.
3. To remove, push the card in slightly until it springs out.

Note:

• Ensure the camcorder is powered off before inserting or removing the Micro SD card to prevent data corruption.
• Format the Micro SD card before first use with the camcorder for optimal performance. This can typically be done by connecting the camera to a computer and formatting the drive.
