Battery Maintenance
The HD-3G camera uses a rechargeable, high capacity Lithium-
Polymer battery pack, capable of providing over 6 hours of run
time on a single charge. We recommend charging the battery
completely before the rst use. A full charge takes around 10
hours to complete.
• Charging the Unit
Connect the supplied cable into the A/V plug of the camera, and
the USB connector into the AC wall charger, then connect to any
wall outlet. The led indicator on the charger will remain red while
charging, and turn to green once completed.
• Memory Card Installation
Insert the card into the camera, with the metal pins facing the LCD
screen. Slide in the plastic card cover and fasten it in place with
the supplied screw. Caution: Do not over tighten the screw!.
5
The required card type is SDHC, and you can use up to 32Gb
capacity. We recommend using the Kingston brand, with a
Class 4 or 6 rating.
Caution: Never remove/insert the memory card while power is
applied, or you risk damaging the data integrity on the card!

you to change different settings, to adjust the camera to the
ambient light conditions and also to congure other system
settings. Press the menu button once to enter the conguration
screen, and by default you will be shown the options for camera
adjustments (Image B). If you need to change the system
settings, move the joystick up, then right, to get to the system
settings menu (Image C).
When you power on the system, the default mode is always the
video mode. Use the mode button to select the mode for which
you need to change settings, and press the Menu button to enter
the conguration screen of the selected mode.
Password Protection
In order to protect the les from being deleted, and settings
from being changed by an unauthorized party, these options are
password protected. The default password is 999888 and can be
changed by the administrator, using the joystick button.

GPS Conversion Software
The Compact Disc provided with your HD-3G camera contains a
le conversion utility for Windows PC computers. You will need it
to convert the raw GPS data into a format that can be read by 3rd
party applications, such as Google Earth and others.
Note: Before you can record the GPS data along with your video,
the G logo must appear on the LCD screen, meaning that the
sattelittes are locked in. This can take a few minutes after the
camera is powered on(cold start)
Before the rst use, copy the GPS folder from
the CD-ROM to any location on your computer.
Then go to That location and launch the KML
Converter application.
