Setup

1. Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the Kestrel 4K Eyeglasses. Connect the provided charging cable to the Micro USB port located on the arm of the glasses. Connect the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The charging indicator light will provide feedback on the charging status. A full charge provides up to 70 minutes of continuous recording.

2. Inserting a MicroSD Card

The Kestrel 4K Eyeglasses require a MicroSD card (not included with this model) for storing recordings. Locate the MicroSD card slot on the arm of the glasses. Gently insert the MicroSD card with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place. The device supports capacities from 8GB to 256GB. Ensure the card is formatted to FAT32 for optimal compatibility.

Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly, even if not in active use.
