Getting Started
The first step in using your device is charging it. Connect the device to a USB port on your PC or plug it into AC
power with the included adapter. While charging the RED LED indicator will flash
while the unit is being
charged. When the battery is full the status LED will stop flashing
. Before first use, we suggest charging the
device for 4 hours.
If you plan on viewing your files on your computer, we suggest using VLC Player. The most recent version can

.
Before performing any functions please make sure a Micro SD card is inserted correctly into the key chain.
The keychain will NOT perform any functions without a Micro SD card properly inserted into the unit. The
Micro SD card should be flush with the unit and not stick out in any way from the keychain. To properly insert
the Micro SD care make sure the area with the wiring on the card is facing up along with the buttons of the key
chain and push is in with your finger nail or a coin. Once inside you properly the card will be completely flush
with the key chain. To take it out use your finger nail or a coin to push the card in and the internal springs
should push the card out. DO NOT force the card in it should slide in smoothly.
Recording Video
To record video, first the key chain has to be turned on, to turn on press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 – 3
seconds. While booting the status LED will glow red/blue. When the LED is solid Blue the key chain is in on
and in standby mode. To start recording press and hold the Photo/Video button for 3 seconds the status LED
will change and blink Red 3 times then stop blinking while recording video. To stop recording press the
Photo/Video button again and the unit will be in standby mode and the LED will glow Blue. If the LED indicator
blinks once and returns to blue this indicated the button was not held long enough and the unit took a photo
instead of video. If the LED indicator blinks red quickly when the unit is being turned on this is an indicator that
the battery is LOW and should be recharged before use.
Taking Photos
To take photos from the standby mode the Photo/Video button once, the status LED should blink and return
back to Blue. During the blink the device is taking a photo and its best to hold the unit as steady as possible
for the best photo quality. If the status LED changes to RED and stats flashing that mean the button was held
for too long and video is being recorded.
Recording Audio

LED will start flashing 3 times and stop. To stop recording audio press the On/Off Audio button again when
