Preparation
Compensation for recorded content
ACME will not be responsible in any case for any consequential or direct problems that will
lead to a loss of recorded or edited data. Furthermore ACME will not guarantee the content in
case the recording or saving is not working properly. The above limitations are as well valid in
case the unit has been repaired.
Do not remove the micro SD Card while recording or saving. Do not switch off or take out the
battery before the recording has been stopped or as long there is access to the memory,
indicated by a rotating circle.
Protect the unit from extreme temperatures. Stop recording at temperatures less than minus
10°C and higher than 60°C. Remove the camera from the windshield/sucking pad in case
extreme temperatures might be possible!
It is known that forged accumulators which remarkably look like the original product are
offered for the sale again and again. Some of these accumulators are not equipped with a
proper protection circuit which would satisfy the regulations of the prevailing safety
regulations. These accumulators can perhaps lead to fires or explosions. We assume no
liability for accidents, damages or failures which result from the use of a forged accumulator.
Battery charging
The inside battery is not fully charged when being purchased. Please charge the battery
before you are going to use the camera the first time!
Connect the camera with your computer using the included USB-cable.
The charging process is indicated by the LED and is finished after about 2 hours.
Use the original USB-Cable or the optional available power adaptor (FCHD43) only to charge
the camera.
Insert/exchange the battery
Slide the lock to the top position and remove the
cover. There you will find the Li-Ion battery. Insert
the battery according to the golden contacts in the
camera. Only use the original battery (Art. No.
FCHD06). Batteries of other suppliers may have
different polarities and cause damages!
