Set Up The Camera
Set Up The Camera
Getting your camera ready to record takes just a few simple steps.
1)
Open the back door of the camera by sliding the back door up and then
releasing it. The back door will spring open.
2)
Insert the battery until the red battery retention clip [G] secures the battery in
place. The end of the battery with the metal squares goes in first with the squares
toward the top. You will need to push the latch aside to start to get the battery
inserted in to the battery slot.
3)
Insert the microSD card in to the camera [K]. The side with the contacts should
be facing to the right and the “jagged” edge of the card should be facing up.
4)
Close the back door of the camera and push the door down to secure it in to
the closed position.
5)
Firmly press and immediately release the power button to turn the camera on.
After about one second the LEDs will flash, and you’ll hear a single beep. The
Record/GPS status light on the lower front of the camera will turn green and
flash while the camera’s GPS module attempts to obtain a GPS position fix.
6)
The is our first camera equipped with an input jack for plugging
in an external audio source. This is ideal for using an external microphone or
patching in to an intercom system such as in the cockpit of an airplane.
The jack on the camera is 2.5mm. A patch cord adapter is included with your
camera for use with 3.5mm jacks.
If you want to use an external microphone, lift the small rubber plug on the
bottom of the camera to expose the jack and plug in your audio source.
At this point, your camera is ready to record video and audio.
What Is Your Camera Telling You?
Lights
The has several different LED lights that tell you about the status of
your camera.
The LED on the lower front of the camera [A] indicates record status (green for
standby, red for recording) and GPS position fix status (flashing when searching
for a position fix and solid once a position fix is obtained). If you are using the
Bluetooth feature, this light will be blue when the Bluetooth is active. Once again
flashing means it is searching for a Bluetooth device and solid means it has
established a Bluetooth connection.
