Charging your Fly12 Sport battery
Your Fly12 Sport comes partially charged. Before using it
for the rst time, please charge fully.
To charge:
• Connect your Fly12 Sport to a USB power adapter (not supplied)
using the supplied USB cable.
• The indicator light will illuminate red showing the Fly12 Sport is charging.
• The indicator light will illuminate green when the Fly12 Sport is fully
charged.
You can charge your Fly12 Sport using the USB cable provided and your
computer however, charging via your computer will signicantly reduce
the rate of charge. For the quickest charge, use a USB power adapter that
supports USB fast charge (5V @ 2A).

Accordingly, the time to charge from at to fully charged varies from 2.5 to 8
hours depending on the method of charging, i.e. mains power USB at 2 amps
(not supplied) or computer USB (at as little as 0.5A). Battery life will diminish
over time and charge cycles.
Battery level indicator
When turning on your Fly12 Sport, an audible battery status will sound
alerting you to the current battery level. This allows you to determine if you
have enough power to record your planned ride.
Additionally, you can view the current battery level of your Fly12 on the rear
display screen - see page 10.

Mounting your Fly12 Sport
Your Fly12 Sport comes with a handlebar mount and a universal adapter that
features the Cycliq 1/8th turn quick release system.
To mount:
1. Place the handlebar mount above or below the handlebar, ensuring that
nothing will obstruct the eld of camera view. If mounting to a 22.2mm
bar install the appropriate rubber adapter then carefully torque the hex

2. With the Fly12 Sport facing forward, and at a 45° angle, line up the quick
release male component on the Fly12 Sport with the female receptor on
the handlebar mount. Place the Fly12 Sport into the mount and make
a 1/8th turn until the device clicks into a forward-facing position. A
distinctive ‘click’ sound conrms the Fly12 Sport has been locked in place.

If installing your Fly12 Sport using the universal adapter and a nned style
mounting sytem, the process of operating the 1/8th turn is the same as
