1. Why is my device not working?
Make sure that the camera is fully charged and a micro SD card is inserted before using
it. If device is fully charged and micro SD card has been inserted and the device is still
not working, reformat the memory card or try a different memory card. If all else fails,
reset the device.
2. I have inserted a memory card into my camera but my device is still not
working.
Check if the memory is full or defective. If the memory card is full, delete/move some
photos or videos to free up some space. If all files have been backed up to your
computer, you may just format the card to clear its memory and formatting is one way
of checking if the memory card is defective. If card is defective, please try a different
memory card.
If the micro SD card is a working memory card and the device still does not work, please
reset the device.
3. How do I view the photos and videos taken by my camera?
You can connect the camera to your computer using a USB cable and search for the
removable disk drive pertaining to your camera. Open the disk drive, copy and paste the
photos or videos to your computer’s hard drive and view/play it from there.
You can also remove the memory card from the camera and insert it to a card reader
then to your computer’s USB port. Then, do the same procedure as if you have
connected the camera to your computer.
