How to install the removable Li-On (Lithium-Ion) battery
The HD Sports camera comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. With
proper care, this battery should be able to be recharged many hundreds of times
before needing replacement.
The battery needs to be installed in the HD Sports before you can use it.
1. Make sure the LCD screen is not attached to the camera (see “Attaching/
removing the LCD screen” on page 16).
2. Press down on the three
ridges shown in the picture
with your thumb and slide
the battery cover downward
to remove it.
3. Lower the right side of the
battery marked (-) first into
the battery compartment,
ensuring the gold contacts
on the underside of the
battery match the gold
contacts inside the battery
compartment. The battery
compartment has a lip
around the edge which
holds the battery in place.
Make sure you place the
battery under this lip when
positioning it.
4. When the battery is aligned with the contact and seated under the lip, you
can now press the left side of the battery to push it into place.
5. Replace the battery cover by sliding it back into position until it clicks.
Main Camera Body (front)
Camera lens
This is what captures all the action.
Video recording/
Snapshot indicator
(red LED)
This red indicator flashes slowly when the unit is recording VIDEO.
It flashes once when a SNAPSHOT is taken.
Laser transmitter
When activated, this is where the laser is emitted which can help pinpoint
what the camera lens is seeing without the need for live viewing on the LCD
screen attachment or external TV or monitor.
The laser pointer only fires when the unit is recording VIDEO and switches off
when recording is stopped.
See Laser Sync under “Camcorder menu” on page 21 for more information.
WARNING: Do not look into the laser or shine it near eyes as it could cause
damage to the eyes.
AV OUT
This port provides a composite output for connection to an external TV or
monitor. The yellow (RCA) plug should be connected to the video input on a
TV or monitor. The other two plugs are the left/right stereo pair for the audio
output.
HDMI
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It’s the latest
technology for transferring uncompressed digital data such as the video and
audio from your HD Sports to an external device like a TV or monitor.
HDMI carries both the video and audio in one small cable and retains the
quality of the footage captured.
To watch your footage on an external TV or monitor, connect the HD Sports
to an external TV or monitor using an HDMI cable. Note: The camera requires
a smaller than normal mini-HDMI connector. Most monitor devices have a
standard sized HDMI connector.
Screw mount
A standard screw thread used to attach the mounts/joint which come with
the HD Sports camera. This is a standard mount so can be used with most
photographic tripods.
