INSTALLING THE BATTERY

GUARC

Please install the provided 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery correctly as shown in the illustration:

1. Slide the Battery Cover to the right to release it.
2. Place the battery inside the battery compartment. Make sure the electrodes of the battery correspond to the symbols on the cover.
3. Slide the battery cover back in place (to the left) to lock the battery.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

To charge the battery:

1. Make sure the Guardo Action Cam 4 is turned off and that the battery is installed.
2. Connect the micro USB cable (14) to the Micro USB Port (8) of the Guardo Action Cam 4.
3. Connect the other end of the micro USB cable (14) to the USB port of your computer or the optional Guardo USB home charging device, optionally available on www.guardo.be.
4. During charging, the blue LED indicator (11) at the front of the camera will light continuously. When charging is completed the blue LED indicator (11) will turn off.

Note:

• The camera can be used while charging.
• When the battery runs out of power, the Guardo Action Cam 4 will turn off but will save the part that was recorded until the camera turned off.
• When the camera is ON but not in use it will automatically turn off after 5 min. This is the default setting and can NOT be changed in the camera's menu.
• When the blue LED indicator will flash instead of light continuously, this means that there is no battery inside the camera.
• The delivered micro USB cable (14) offers fast and efficient charging but is also used for synchronizing and data transfer with your PC.
• Extra charging devices/accessories can be ordered from our website: www.guardo.be.
• If the video camera is not used for a long time, remove and store the battery properly and periodically recharge it to ensure battery performance.

USE THE WATERPROOF HOUSING

Place the camera in the waterproof housing:

Click into place

Close-up of a hand holding an open camera module, showing internal components and casing (no text or symbols visible)

Hand holding a small mechanical component, possibly a switch or tool, against a plain background (no visible text or symbols)

Hand holding a small electronic device with a black body (no visible text or symbols)

IMPORTANT! USAGE FOR PREVENTING WATER LEAKAGE

1. BEFORE EVERY USE: check carefully that the waterproof housing is securely locked onto the camera and that there are no ‘objects’ (such as sand or a lock of hair) in between the rubber strap and the housing, as this could cause leaking.
2. The rubber strap is the most important part of the waterproof housing as it is the element that keeps your camera waterproof. The rubber strap can be removed to clean it in fresh water. Do not use a damp cloth to dry, but dry it by shaking it.
3. Whenever used in salty water, ALWAYS clean the plastic waterproof housing afterwards in non-salt water and dry it. This is to avoid corrosion or to prevent dust/sand/... building up in the rubber seal.

!ATTENTION!

If you do not consistently perform/execute the above mentioned tips, water damage may occur and can result into the camera being damaged/destroyed. The warranty does NOT cover water damage caused by improper use by the user!

WATERDROPS & CONDENSATION

Regulatory check the lens to see if waterdrops or condensation/fog have appeared as these may be shown on your footage.

To remove/avoid waterdrops and condensation/fog, these tips might help :

• Spit or lick the port or housing lens. The water will sheet off instead of beading up!
• Apply a water repellent and anti-beading/anti-fog coating or wax (such as 'RAIN-X)
• Make sure the inside of the housing and camera is as dry as possible (e.g. dry hands, no sweat) to prevent fog/condensation

- Don't leave the camera in the direct sun or near heat and don't leave it ON (generating heat) when not necessary

- Open the fogged camera housing and carefully wipe off the fog inside, then close it again

- Try to avoid too large temperature differences as these may cause condensation/fog Anti-Fog inserts are optionally available on www.guardo.be.

Note: 'Muffled' sound is inevitable when using the camera with the waterproof housing.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA USING THE DELIVERED MOUNTS

Two small screwdrivers and a yellow mechanical component with metallic components (no text or symbols visible)

Attaching the camera to any mount, is always done in the same way:

1. Remove the screw from the mount.
2. Place the camera on the mount with the screw.
3. Rotate/Tilt the camera into the desired shooting angle and fasten with the tightening screw.

MOUNTS WITH ADHESIVE TAPE

How to apply the adhesive tape (IMPORTANT!)?

• Apply the tape 24 hours before use in a room temperature around 21^ C
• Make sure the surface you want to apply the tape on is smooth: the tape will not adhere properly on an embossed or porous surface.
• Clean and dry the surface before application. Any cleaner that will not leave a film or oily surface can be used!
• Press the tape entirely and firmly into place!

How to remove the adhesive tape?

The adhesive tape can be removed by using a hairdryer: the heated air will loosen the adhesive part.

Remove the residue with a cleaner or with alcohol.

Turn the tightening screws to enlarge the opening and to fit the seatpost/handlebar/... in between the openings of the mount. Turn the screws to secure the mount.

B. SAFETY PLUG

Some mounts are fitted with a safety plug, an additional security feature that helps to prevent the fastener of the mount to come loose! Make sure this safety plug is securely attached when using it for extreme sports in which many shocks, sudden (up and down) movements and rotations occur such as motocross, snowboarding, mountain biking, etc ...
