Getting Started
Before first use
Unpack the product but keep all packaging materials until you have
made sure your new Action Camera is undamaged and in good working
order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young
children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
Inspect the supplied USB cable and ensure it is undamaged. Do not use it
for charging the product if the cable is damaged.
Read this manual to familiarise yourself with the product, its buttons
and functions and all accessories. Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions on the previous pages.
Charging the built-in lithium battery
The battery has been partially charged at the factory. To perform all
functions, we recommend you fully recharge it before using the camera for
the first time.
Make sure the camera is switched off, then connect it to a computer for
charging, using the supplied USB cable.
The charging indicator illuminates during charging. It will turn off once the
battery is fully charged.
A full charge generally takes about 2-4 hours.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Installing a memory card
The camera is NOT equipped with a built-in memory, and thus a memory
card is required. Before using the Action Camera for recording video or taking
photos, make sure you have installed an appropriate micro SD (TF) card with
a maximum storage capacity of 32GB.
Make sure the camera is switched off before inserting a memory card.
Insert a micro SD card into the SD slot, as illustrated on the bottom of the
camera next to the card slot. Make sure the card is fully inserted.
To remove the SD card out, gently press the end of the memory card
inwards and the card will eject out of the slot.
Memory card precautions
A Micro SD card is a precision electronic component. Always handle it with
care. Protect the card from static electricity and strong shocks.
If you are installing a previously used memory card into the camera, make
sure to back up any data stored on the card, to avoid possible data loss due
to formatting the card.
Avoid the following situations, which may cause loss or damage of data
stored on the card:
Improper use of the memory card
Card bent, dropped or subjected to shock
Exposure to high temperature, high humidity or direct sunlight
Exposure to static fields or nearby electromagnetic fields
Removal of the memory card, or interference with the camera power
supply, while the memory card is in use (being read, written to or
formatted).
Contact of the memory card’s metal surface with a finger or metal object.
Usage of the memory card beyond its lifespan.
We strongly recommend you back up all data on the SD card to another
storage device so you do not risk losing any data in case of an unexpected
device failure or accident. We do not assume liability for any loss of data
due to misuse or malfunction. Data backup is your personal responsibility.

Waterproof housing
The camera comes supplied with a transparent waterproof housing, which
allows you to take video footage or photos in wet conditions, even in or under
water, up to a depth of 3 metres.
To use the camera with the waterproof housing, proceed as follows:
Select the desired mode (photo or video).
Select the desired menu options.
Place the camera in the waterproof housing and close it carefully using the
locking clip located at the right side of
the case.
Once the camera is securely installed,
you can use the ON/OFF and SHUTTER
buttons by pushing the push buttons
located on top of the waterproof
housing.
WARNING: Once the camera is installed in the case, make sure that all seals
are in place to prevent water intrusion.
Getting Started (Cont.)
Before using the camera in wet conditions
Before sealing the case, ensure the camera housing’s rubber seal is clean
— a single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak. You can test by closing
the case without inserting the camera. Submerge the case completely
in water for about a minute. Remove the case from the water, dry off its
exterior with a towel, then open the case. If the entire interior is dry, the
case is safe for use under water.
Remember to select which mode you would like to record in by using the
MODE switch before inserting the camera into the waterproof case. There
is no external button for the MODE switch.
After every use in salt water, rinse the outside of the housing with non-salt
water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge
pin and salt build-up in the seal, which can cause failure.
WARNING: Do not use aggressive substances such as acetone to clean
the case, which can cause permanent damage.
To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth
may cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves
in the back door of the housing.
