Welcome to your new Kaiser Baas X500 Action
Camera. Before you get shooting, please review
the user guide carefully to ensure you get the
maximum performance out of your camera.
Battery Charging
We recommend that you fully charge your
camera before use. A full charge is approxi-
mately 2.5 hours using a 5V 0.5/1A Charger.
MicroSD Card Compatibility
Your camera requires a MicroSD Card
(not included). Kaiser Baas recommends the
use of a brand name Class UHS-1 or higher
MicroSD Card. Any content recording higher
than 1080P@60FPS will require a Class UHS-1
or higher card.
There is only one correct way to insert the
MicroSD card. Do not force the card into the
slot as it may damage the camera and card.
The maximum card size is 64GB.
The list of recommended MicroSD cards can be
found at: www.kaiserbaas.com/support
Format Card
Before you start recording for the rst time, we
recommend you format the MicroSD card.
The format option is found in the Settings
Menu.
For information on how to navigate the menu
please see the Menu Navigation section.
Note: Formatting the card will permanently
erase all data on the card. Be sure to backup
any content prior to formatting.
