Setting Time & Date
(Only for Micros delivered in 2011)
To set your camera's time and date you will need to follow these simple
steps:
First, record a short video with your camera and then turn it off.
Then, connect your camera to your computer with with the USB cable.
Turn on your camera and you will soon see a pop-up window. (Top
Right). Notice the file "
DATETIME.bat
"
Double-Click "
DATETIME.bat
"
This will create a file called "
DateTime.dat
".
Now, press and release the button on your camera. This will sync the
Date/Time of your computer with your camera. You will hear a beep
when this is done.
The open window will now close.
Press and hold the button to turn off your camera.
Now unplug your USB cable and use your camera as usual. Files
recorded will now be marked with the correct date and time.
Note:
If your batteries are taken out of your camera for more than a
few minutes, this setting will be lost and you will need to repeat it.
Mounting
The Tachyon XC Micro comes with one reversible Universal Mount that allows you to
securely mount your camera on the top or on either side of your helmet.
You Micro will easily snap in and out of the Universal Mount, which itself will easily slip over
the strap of your goggles, or on to the top or either side of your helmet.
We also recommend, for secure and easy mounting,
3M™ Dual-Lock™ Fastening Strips
.
You will get one 8-inch strip in your box. These are similar to Velcro but much stronger.
When filming in extreme situations, it is important to further tether your camera to the mount
that you are using. This will ensure that your camera is not lost in water, snow, or rugged
terrain when you fall or hit your camera. The rear door of your camera is designed to allow
fishing line to be passed through the top, near the latch, so when the door is locked shut your
camera will be securely attached to whatever you tie it to.
3M™ Dual-Lock™ is a trademark of 3M Company in the United States and/or other countries.

Tachyon XC Micro Mounting Page

Sound Recording
For waterproofing reasons, the microphone of the Tachyon XC Micro is sealed inside the case. This ensures that your camera will function well in extreme situations. But
your sound-recording quality will be quite a bit lower than on a camera that is not designed to be waterproof.
