Setup Guide
1. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge both lithium batteries. Insert a battery into the camcorder and connect the camcorder to a power source using the provided USB cable. The charging indicator will illuminate. A full charge typically takes several hours.
2. Inserting the SD Card
Open the SD card slot cover. Insert the 32GB SD card (or another compatible SD card, Class 10 or higher, 32-256GB) into the slot with the metal contacts facing the front of the camcorder until it clicks into place. Close the cover.
Important: The camcorder may prompt you to format the SD card upon first insertion or if a new card is detected. Always format new SD cards using the camcorder's menu to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Formatting will erase all data on the card.
3. Powering On/Off
To power on the camcorder, open the LCD screen. To power off, close the LCD screen or press and hold the power button.
