5 User Guide

Before you start using the camera for the first time you should install the supplied video player. To do this please insert the CD into your computer and start setup.exe. Then follow the instructions which will guide you through the installation. For the next step you need a microSD card with a transfer rate of 6MB/s or above and a card reader. This is achieved by memory cards with level 6 or above. Now connect your card reader to your computer and insert the memory card. You are now able to enter the setup menu in the video player. Please select the correct time zone and other options you wish to enable. These settings are saved to the memory card. Now insert the memory card into your camera. At the next startup the camera will apply all saved settings.

5.1 Outdoor

1. Insert the Micro SD card on which you saved the settings from the video player.

2. Press the Power on button for about 1 second, you will hear one short beep. (The lights will flash once in this order

3. Now the camera will start searching for a GPS signal. All LED will switch off except the GPS signal light which will flash in blue regularly (3). Once the camera finds the GPS signal you will hear two short beep tones and the camera will start recording.

The GPS light (blue ) and the record light (red ) will keep flashing.

If you start the camera for the very first time the search process can take up 3 minutes and more. If you switch the camera on after a long time it will take about 1 to 1.5 minutes for the search process to finish. And if you have recently recorded it will only take a few seconds.

1. Power OFF: Keep the power button pressed for about 3 seconds. You will hear a short beep followed by a long beep and then the camera will shut down

5.2 Indoor

When you want to take a video indoors the camera won't be able to find any GPS signal and will keep on searching (Outdoor Step 3). In this case you have to shortly press the Power On/Off button again. You will hear one long beep followed by two short beeps which indicate the start of a recording.

Please Note

1. If you use indoor recording the recorded video will playback but without the GPS map.
2. When the product catches a GPS signal, it will switch to the GPS recording mode.
3. If the memory card is almost out of memory the camera will beep shortly three times. This will be repeated every two minutes for the final 10 minutes.
4. The same warning will appear for when the camera is low on battery. It will beep every two minutes until the batteries are below 2V this will shut down the camera immediately.

6 Trouble Shooting

What should I pay attention before I use this product?

• Please Note: The micro SD card has to be at least a level 6 card with a transmission rate of 6 MB/s or above. Otherwise the recorded videos will not run smoothly.
• Please insert the micro SD card into your computer and set up the correct time zone with the video player before you start recording.
• We recommend using high quality batteries this will increase the operation time of the camera.
• Check if the product has found the GPS signal when you start recording. See Chapter 5.1 for more information.
• Please do not cover the top of the camera while it is searching for a GPS signal. Since this is where the antenna is located. Please hold the camera like that:
• If you want to watch the videos on your computer make sure that your computer is linked to the internet. Otherwise the camera can't download the map information from Google Maps.

Why does the camera spend more than 1.5 min to search for the GPS signal?

• If you start the camera for the very first time it will take 3 minutes or more to find the GPS signal. The reason is that the camera has to update a lot of internal data. The following start-ups will be faster (1-1.5 min).

The memory card can't store the video.

• The memory card is already full.
• The write protection on the memory is enabled. To disable the write protection you have to open the properties of the memory card in the file explorer of your OS.

The Google map is not loaded while playing a video.

• Your computer is not connected to the internet.
• The camera did not catch the GPS signal during recording.

The camera does not power on.

• Please check the batteries. Is the batteries are low on power the camera can't work.
• Please check if the memory card is inserted. Without a memory card the camera is automatically switching off.
• The memory card is full. Please delete some old movies to create some free space.
