3. Initial setup

1. Make sure the camera is OFF before adding or removing the memory card.

To insert the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card, slide the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card into the card slot on the back of the camera with the card label facing down. The MicroSD/MicroSDHC card will click into place once it is inserted past flush with the camera. Use your fingernail to do this. Then screw in the rear cap till it is completely locked.

4. If no MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory card is inserted in the camera, the LED on top of the camera will blink red and green.

5. When using a MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory card in the camera, there should be no data from other devices on the card. If you are using a MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory card for the first time, you should format the card in your computer (FAT32 format is recommended).

Using the camera at water sports

It is necessary to apply the silicone paste (it is the part of the package) onto the rubber sealing ring from time to time, especially before using the camera during diving. Make sure that the back cap ③ is securely tightened. There is no right to make a claim for the warranty. The possible penetration of water into the camera because of the nonobservance of these warnings will void the warranty.

Two back caps are the part of the package. The waterproof cap is usually installed on the camera. The other one is only damp proof but with the good sound transmission (sound cap).

During using the camera at sports as swimming, canoeing, etc. it is necessary to use the waterproof back cap. At the other sports where there isn't the straight contact with water it is possible to use the damp proof back cap only for better sound recording. The camera is during using the waterproof back cap waterproof up to the depth of 10m. But it is necessary to bolt the waterproof cap on properly and screw it tight. There mustn't be any dirt in the sealing and there must be applied the silicone gel on it.
