Troubleshooting
1. The device is set to “Recording” mode, but the device is off. How do I turn the
device on?
Move the switch (on the top of the device) to “Transfer” mode momentarily (move it all
the way to the right).
Then, move the switch back to “Recording” mode (the left option) to turn on the device.
If this does not work, make sure the device is charged and/or plugged in.
2. The device appears to be on, but the LCD screen is completely blank.
Press the “Menu/Settings” button to turn the screen back on. (To save battery
power while recording, you can turn the screen off again by pressing the
“Menu/Settings” button again while recording to turn the screen off.)
3. The device LCD is on, and my video source is plugged in, but I just see a black
or blue screen –there is no preview of my video on the screen.
Please make sure the HDMI input is connected properly. Make sure your HDMI cable
is plugged into the “IN” port on the HD Video Capture Box (not the “OUT” port). Try
using a different HDMI cable and/or video source.
4. When I play back the videos on the device (on the LCD or to a TV), the video
quality isn’t very good.
The device plays back the recorded video at a limited quality. Once you transfer the
recording to your computer and view it there, the recording will appear in its full quality.
5. My recording split into several files, even though I made a single recording.
The device has a 4 GB file size limit and will automatically split recordings that are
larger than 4 GB into multiple files. If you’d like to combine these files into one, just
download this free software: www.mp4joiner.org

6. My MicroSD card isn’t recognized by the device or won’t work with it.
Make sure your MicroSD is under 128 GB and is rated “Class 10” or higher. Please try
another MicroSD card. We recommend using a fresh MicroSD card that has not been
used in other devices before.
7. The device is frozen.
If the device has frozen, use an unfolded paperclip to press the reset button inside the
reset hole in the back of the device. Then momentarily set the “Mode Switch” on the
top of the device to the right –(Transfer/Off mode). Finally, set the “Mode Switch” on
the top of the device back to the left –“Recording” mode.
8. The device isn’t recording.
Please make sure your video source is connected properly.
Please make sure a MicroSD memory card is inserted.
Please make sure you are in “Recording” mode.
9. My recordings don’t show up on my PC or Mac when I plug in the device by
USB.
Make sure the switch at the top of the device is set to “Transfer” mode (the right-most
setting). The device will appear as a new storage drive on your computer. Navigate to
the drive and go to the “Video” folder.
