General Precautions
Please take note of the following guidelines when using your Ghost-S camera:
• The camera is 2m shock resistant,
but not shock proof — please
take care of your camera and
accessories, mounting and storing
them securely.
• For your safety, do not press the
buttons on the camera during
sports activities.
• Do not store the camera anywhere
prone to dust or damp for extended
periods of time.
• Do not leave the camera exposed
to extremely high temperatures—
such as under direct sunlight—for
extended periods of time as this
may aect the camera housing and
internal components.
Precautions
• Clean the lens and screen with
a micro fibre, antistatic cloth to
remove fingerprints or dust—no
cleaning chemicals are required.
• The camera has a working
temperature range of -10°C to
40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• Power o the camera before
removing the battery module or
memory card—the memory card
and stored data may be damaged if
it is removed or inserted while the
camera is powered on.
• Remove the memory card before
storing the camera for long periods
of time.

Disclaimer
Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
DO NOT short-circuit the battery module terminals.
DO NOT open, puncture or otherwise damage the rechargeable battery
module, or dispose of it in fire.
We recommend users to regularly store cameras for a minimum of 6-12 hours
with the battery module removed in a maximum of 30% humidity to help disperse
any moisture.
Avoid removing Ghost-4K modules in damp or humid conditions.
The ghost 4K is water resistant, but not waterproof. This means that you can use
your camera in the rain, providing the USB and memory card covers and a Ghost
4K module are securely in place, but the camera cannot be submerged.
For any activities where the camera may be subjected to impact of water or
submersion, the ghost 4K waterproof case (sold separately) is required.
Drift Innovation will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for injuries or
property damaged incurred during participation of any high-risk sport or activity
not endorsed or recommended by Drift Innovation. Remember that the warranty
will only cover manufacturing defects.

2. To power the camera on or o while charging, press and release button.
• For best results charge your camera and battery module simultaneously.
• Ensure that the Ghost 4K is powered o.

• Connect the included mini USB cable to a powered USB port, and then to your
Ghost 4K USB port.
At a temperature of 25°C (77°F), recording continuously with the standard battery
module installed, your Ghost 4K battery will last for 2hrs 30mins on a full charge.
The camera can be powered by an external power supply such as a USB power
adaptor or power pack. We recommend you to power o your camera before
connecting to any external power supply.
Press the button to begin normal usage when using an external power
supply. If the external power is cut o for any reason during recording, the
camera will immediately start drawing power from the rechargeable battery
instead and continue recording, protecting your footage from file corruption.
• A full charge takes around 2.5 hours (min. 1A USB port). Once the camera is
fully charged, remove the mini USB cable, and replace the rubber port cover.
If connected to a
powered USB port the
Ghost 4K screen will
show a charging icon.
If connected to a
computer USB port the
