For some applications you may find it helpful to use an external microphone. The
microphone input connector is located at the bottom of the POV.1.5 unit, and to
access it the Input/Output Port cover must be removed (as described earlier in this
manual).
If you are using an external microphone while recording in the field, make sure to
protect the bottom of the unit since this is where the SDHC memory card is also
located. The unit is not waterproof when the Input/Output Port cover is removed.
Mounting the Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote control unit allows you to start and stop recording, as well as
tag segments of video that you want to locate later on. It is designed to be worn
on your body or mounted within easy reach.
One common way to mount the wireless remote control is to use the long Hook
and Loop strip included with the unit to strap the remote to your wrist. Another
common method is to use zip ties to secure the remote control to the handlebars
of a bicycle, motorcycle, snowmobile, etc.
If you are wearing gear (such as a heavy parka) that makes it difficult or
uncomfortable to get to your wrist, you can also use the clip with snaps that is
included with the unit to clip the remote to your clothing in a place that is easy to
reach.
Keep in mind that the remote control is designed for close range use and will work
best if it is kept within easy reach of the POV.1.5 Recorder.
