Frequently Asked Questions - QBiC MS-1 Elmo

How do I charge the QBiC MS-1 battery?
Turn the camera off, connect the supplied USB cable to the micro USB port and a computer USB port. The Power LED turns red during charging and turns off when fully charged (about 3 hours). You can also use an optional AC adapter.
What is the battery life and how can I extend it?
The battery lasts about 1 hour 45 minutes at 1080p/30fps with WiFi off. To extend life, reduce resolution, disable WiFi when not in use, and keep the battery warm in cold conditions. The battery cannot be removed by the user.
How do I connect QBiC MS-1 to my smartphone via WiFi?
Install the QBiC App from App Store or Google Play. Turn on the camera and press the WiFi switch (hold 1 second) until the WiFi LED turns blue. On your device, go to WiFi settings, select the camera's SSID (e.g., QBiCMSxxxxxxx), enter password "1234567890", then open the app.
Is the QBiC MS-1 waterproof?
It is IPX4 rated (splash-proof), meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not submersible. Ensure the interface terminal cover is tightly closed. Do not use in heavy rain or underwater.
What microSD card is recommended?
Use microSDHC Class 6 or higher (up to 32GB) or microSDXC Class 10 or higher (up to 64GB). Format the card in the camera before first use. The camera supports cards up to 64GB.
How do I reset the camera to factory settings?
While the camera is on, press and hold the Recording Switch and WiFi Switch together for over 5 seconds. All LEDs flash green and the camera restarts. Network settings are not reset by this; use the network setting initialization in the app.
How can I view recorded files on a TV?

What should I do if the camera won't turn on?
Charge the battery fully (LED off). If used in cold, warm the camera. If still not working, try a forced shutdown (hold Power switch 10 seconds) then recharge. If issues persist, contact ELMO support.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the update file from the official website to a microSD card. Ensure battery is fully charged (use AC adapter if low). Insert the card, turn on the camera. Update starts automatically; the camera will restart twice when complete.
