You can find the USB port on the board or on the side, back,
or bottom of the device. It is the same connection as the
charging port.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The mounting of these devices are designed to be
light and covert. They are therefore sensitive to excessive force and impact.
If the USB cable is not inserting, please check the orientation of the cable.
Do not force it.

MicroSD card and insert the MicroSD card into the reader directly on your
computer if available, or 3) use an external MicroSD card reader.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not insert or remove the SD card while the unit

the spring tension will push the card out.
BUSHBABY2 SPECIAL OPERATION NOTES
If the memory card fills up while recording video, the oldest file on
the card will be deleted and a new file will be created. Video
recording will not stop once the card is full. Once the video file has
been deleted in this manner, it cannot be recovered.
The BushBaby2 line of devices are Mac OS X compatible. When you
delete a file from the memory with a Mac, you must then empty
the Trash Can. Failing to do so will fill the storage with hidden files
that will prevent recording.
If you are having video playback issues, we recommend you use VLC
player, which can be found at www.videolan.org. It is a free
program available for all popular operating systems.
If you are seeing video stuttering, please copy the files to your
computer first and play them back from there. Trying to play videos
directly off the device when connected over USB may cause this
issue.
Devices with 90 Hour batteries will require overnight charging. The
larger battery does have a longer recharge period.
