• If sand or debris hardens around the back cap, soak the rear of the camera in warm tap water for 5 minutes and 

then rinse thoroughly to remove the debris before opening.

• (4.0 and 3.0 ONLY) The camera is water-resistant no housing needed. Ensure that the back cap is closed and 

locked before using the camera around water, dirt, or sand.

• For best audio performance, ensure the microphone hole is free of water or debris. To remove obstructions, shake 

the camera or blow on the mic to remove water and debris from the microphone hole.  *DO NOT stick anything in 

the mic hole as you could damage the mic.

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGES / CAMERA VIBRATIONS (4.0 and 3.0 only)

If the camera begins to vibrate for 5 sec on and 5 seconds off repeatedly. Check the following:

NO SD CARD = The camera requires a microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC card to capture videos.

SD FULL = Delete files or swap card.

SD ERROR = Camera is unable to read card please format the card and try again.  (See reformatting SD card 

instructions).

NOTICE: When formatting SD cards and you select Yes, card’s contents WILL BE DELETED.  To avoid loss of video, down-

load all files onto your computer in a separate file.  Reformat your microSD card on a regular basis to ensure that the card 

can continue to receive information from the camera.

 

CAMERA BATTERY

Your camera and battery need to stay connected when operating. Do Not remove the battery from the camera 

when in use or your data will be lost.

On your Tactacam 4.0 and 3.0 there are 4 Green LED battery indicator lights.  When all 4 lights are illuminated  the 

camera battery is full.  As the battery levels decreases the lights will begin to reduce in numbers till there is one LED 

light remaining. The last battery level LED indicator light will begin to blink when the battery drops below 10%. If the 

battery reaches 0% while recording, the camera saves the file and powers off.

Note: (Tactacam 2.0) the Green LED will blink fast when the battery reaches the final 5% of life.

 

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE

Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize battery life in cold conditions, keep camera in a 

warm place prior to use. Protect the Rec/Power Button to prevent the camera from accidentally turning on.

 

CHARGING TIME USB CORD WALL PLUG

The battery charges to 80% in approximately two hours and 100% in approximately three hours when using 

Tactacam’s USB-compatible charger, Wall Charger for 4.0 and 3.0, or other USB charging adapter. Other chargers 

might charge at a slower rate.

WARNING: Using a wall charger other than a Tactacam’s Wall Charger can damage the Tactacam’s camera battery and 

could result in fire or leakage. Only use chargers marked: Output 5V 1A. If you do not know the voltage and current of your 

charger, use the included USB cable to charge the camera from your computer.
