Frequently Asked Questions
What limits the recording life?
The battery is used mainly whilst the display is on and the user is actually
answering questions. When the battery is brand new and fully charged, it will run
for around 10 hours of continuous questioning, equivalent to about 20 minutes
per day for one month. However it is possible to design a questionnaire which
will take more or less o
f the wearer’s time than this.
Will too many answers fill up the memory?
No, the answers to questions do not take up a significant part of the memory.
Short epoch motion data will take much more memory, but in most cases the
recording time will be limited by battery life rather than memory.
Will the data be lost if the battery runs flat?
No. Plug the device into a USB port to recharge for an hour or so, and try to
download again. If you still have difficulty recovering data, contact CamNtech
before doing anything else with the Diary. We will do our best to recover data
even from badly damaged devices.
