4. Operating Instructions

This kit provides mounting solutions for your action camera. The operation of the action camera itself (e.g., recording, changing modes, battery management) is dependent on the specific camera model you are using. Please refer to your action camera's instruction manual for detailed operating procedures.

Ensure all mounting points are tightened before beginning your activity to prevent the camera from dislodging.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AKASO Action Camera Motorcycle Kit:

• Cleaning: Wipe down all components with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the kit in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all screws, brackets, and adhesive tapes for wear or damage. Replace any worn components to maintain secure mounting.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your mounting kit, consider the following:

• Camera Movement/Vibration: Ensure all thumb screws and bracket clamps are fully tightened. Check that the mounting surface is clean and flat for adhesive mounts.
• Adhesive Mount Not Sticking: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying the adhesive tape. Apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds and allow sufficient curing time (typically 24 hours) before use.
• Difficulty Adjusting Angle: Loosen the relevant thumb screw or clamp slightly, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten firmly.
