3. NOTES / WARNINGS
Charging Battery –Prior to first use of the system, charge the battery for a minimum
of four hours. When the battery is fully charged, the Red “POWER” LED on the top
of the device will turn OFF. Please note that your camera may arrive already fully
charged, so don't be surprised if, the first time you try to charge it, the red “charging”
light does not come on.
Connection to PC –The Camera DOES NOT allow direct connection to a PC for
downloading of data. The ONLY way this can be achieved is by using the
CamManager software (Please note that this process is different if using the
Audax Docking Station).
Changing Settings –We recommend that all recorded video /image files are backed
up before changing any system settings. Failure to do so may cause recorded
footage/files to be deleted.
Internal Memory –Gaining or attempting to gain physical access to the Internal
Memory will invalidate the system Warranty.
Cables –Only ever use the supplied chargers and cables. Using other “similar”
cables may invalidate the system Warranty.
Password Protection –The Chest Camera device has two different Passwords set:
a. The “Settings” Menu has the initial password set as 000000 (Please see Section
6, para Q for details of how to set Passwords).
The software will not allow access to settings and downloading without using this
password. Audax recommend that this Password is re-set and safely recorded at
the earliest opportunity.
b. The “Replay” Menu has the initial password set as 000001 (Please see Section 6,
para R for details of how to set Passwords).
This allows that you can givethis password tothe user so thatthey can view recorded
footage (if you require). However, they will NOT be able to access other areas
(settings / downloading) with this password. Audax recommend that this Password
is re-set and safely recorded at the earliest opportunity.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If, after setting, your password is lost then the device will
have to be returned to be re-set. In that event, a fee will be chargeable and any
footage held on the unit might be erased as part of the re-setting process.
Screen Protectors –The Chest Camera device may be dispatched with a protective
film covering the camera lens (front) and viewing screen (back).
Please ensure that the film is peeled off before using.
