IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CHOPPY OR BROKEN UP PLAYBACK:
HD video files contain very large amounts of data. When recording 1080p video, it is important to use
memory cards that are rated at class 10. 1080p 60fps is too much data for many computers to process.
Most common computers cannot process more than 30fps. We recommend using 30fps for most users and
applications. If 60fps is required, make sure your computer has AT LEAST 3.0-3.7 GHz third generation
Core based processors or equivalent, 4GB RAM, a graphics card that compares to an NVIDIA®GeForce
GT650MTM or better and playback software that can process 1080p 60fps video.
Important notice:
WARNING: Do not attempt to take apart the camera as there are high voltage parts and
dangerous electric shock can occur.
WARNING: If the camera is dropped or smashed and internal parts are exposed, do not touch
as there is a danger of electric shock.
Do not leave the camera in direct sunlight or near heat sources as these can damage the camera.
If camera becomes hot during use, turn off the power immediately.
For storage, remove the memory card and keep camera in a cool, dry place with housing door
slightly open.
Before each use, clean and maintain all O-rings in areas that have been opened by removing any
dirt, sand and any other debris
Before each use, clean and maintain O-ring by removing any dirt, sand and other debris and lightly
lubricating with silicone grease as needed to prevent drying and cracking. Make sure to remove all
excess grease before use - excess grease can cause leakage and failure of seal.
Use float strap as extra precaution for water use.
If camera stops responding to button controls, follow these steps to reset.
1. Remove and reinsert battery.
2. Remove MicroSD card.
3. Turn camera ON and perform a “DEFAULT SETTING” in the camera’s SYSTEM menu.
4. Reinsert MicroSD card and turn on camera to use.
Included Accessories:
Lithium ion battery, USB cable, float strap, anti-glare hood, silicone grease, quick start Guide, and optional
