NAVIGATING THE MENUS WITH THE KEYPAD AND SELECT BUTTONS
While viewing normally with the Equinox X650, pressing the Power Button
(N)
will activate the display icons (“HUD”), allowing
you to check battery level, recording mode, day/night and IR illuminator settings, etc. After about 5 seconds, the display will
return to the normal view, with no visible icons. The Settings Menu will allow you to optimize the Equinox X650 for the way
you plan to use it, and to your personal preferences by selecting an option and then changing its setting.
To select the menu option you want and change its setting:
1. Press and hold the Mode button
(M)
to bring up the Menu Display. Press the Mode Button to navigate through the
options: Bright, Lamp, LogoMark, Time Set. When the cursor is on the menu item you wish to adjust, press the Zoom
Out Button
(L)
. Both the main and sub menus, as well as, the settings “wrap around”. This means that continuing to press
Zoom Out after the last item will then move to the first item on the list. You can also press Zoom In
(K)
when the first item is
highlighted to return to the last item.
2. To adjust the Bright, Lamp and LogoMark settings, while the asterisk is on the setting you wish to change, press the Zoom
In/Zoom Out Buttons
(K)
and
(L)
to adjust the settings to your preference. Brightness: 1-9, Lamp: 0-9, LogoMark: on/off.
Shortcut: from any menu screen, pressing the Record Button (N) will exit all menus and return you to the normal view with
display icons.
Setting Date and Time

In the Camera Setup Sub Menu, you should set the current date and time, so these will be correct as seen in the HUD display,

1. Press and hold the Power Button
(N)
to enter the Menu Display.
2. Press the Zoom Out
(L)
button to highlight “Time Set”.
3. The format is: Year/Month/Day Hour:Minute.
4. To set the year, press Zoom In/Zoom Out Buttons
(K)
and
(L)
to choose the correct year. Press the Power Button
(N)
to
confirm the change and move to the next field. Continue to set the month, day. Repeat steps to set the minutes and
seconds.
5. When finished setting the Date and Time, press the Power Button
(N)
button to go back to the main display.
RECORDING PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
Before using the image capture (recording) feature, a micro SD card must be installed (up to 64GB capacity, class 10
or higher speed recommended for video). If you are using a card which was previously used in another device, it is
recommended that you format the card before recording with the Equinox X650.
As this will erase all files currently on your
card, be sure you have backed up anything you wish to keep before formatting the card
.
You can capture a high resolution photo of what you are viewing through the Equinox X650 by simply pressing the Power
Button
(N)
. To record video clips (.mov format) instead of photos, press Mode Button
(M)
change the Recording Mode setting
to “Video”.
REVIEWING AND DELETING PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
After photos and/or videos have been recorded by the Equinox X650, they can be viewed or played back from the micro SD
card by pressing the Mode Button (M), highlighting “Gallery” and pressing the Select button. Use the Left/Right buttons to
move through the stored photos/videos. Press Select to play a video, press again to pause, press Down to stop. Press Left/
Right buttons to fast forward or rewind video during play.
To delete a photo, or a video (while viewing thumbnail image, not during play), press the Down button. A pop-up screen will
ask you to confirm you want to delete the photo or video. Highlight “Yes” and press Select to delete the file from the card.
Photos and videos may also be reviewed by removing the micro SD card from the Equinox X650 (power it off first) and
inserting it in a compatible card reader connected to your computer. You can also connect the Equinox to your computer
(PC or Mac) with a USB cable and view the files stored on the card without removing it from the unit. Be sure to power on
the Equinox X650 before plugging the other end of the USB cable into the computer. The connected Equinox X650 will be
recognized and accessed by your computer the same way an external storage device (portable hard drive or flash drive)
would be, as it conforms to the “USB Mass Storage” protocol.
Photo files use the standard JPEG format, video files use the .AVI format. “Eject” the Equinox properly when you are finished
reviewing the files on the card before disconnecting it.
