SETTING TIME & DATE
When your device is charged, you can set the time and date. Note - please wait until the
charging is done to do this step, or the time you set will be off by several hours.
When you attached your device to your computer, it should have appeared as an external drive
or opened the device. You should see a Folder named VIDEO.
You should also see a TIME.TXT file. If you do not see this file, COPY that file you
downloaded from our website, and PASTE it BELOW the VIDEO folder. Do not paste it inside
the Video folder. The TIME.TXT file must be outside the Video folder for it to work.
1. OPEN the TIME.TXT file using a simple text editor on your PC.
For Windows, use NOTEPAD. In Mac OS X, use TEXTEDIT.
2. In this file is the date and time. Please adjust the numbers to the current date and time. Do
not make any changes to the punctuation or space included in this number.

look like this:
2013-02-22 15:30:00
