turned on.
Pressing the power button slightly a yellow light will start to blink, indicating that the device is
ready to be used. Then pressing the Record / Stop button slightly, another yellow light will begin
to blink followed by a slow flashing red light. At this time the device will start to record. To stop
the recording just simply press the Record / Stop button again and the video will stop and save
automatically. The red light will remain after the video has saved if you wish to continue
recording.
NOTE:
a. Make sure the Micro SD card has been inserted before use. If not, the device will power
off automatically after 30 seconds.
b. To avoid saving incomplete files, do not press any of the buttons during the saving
process.
c. For the best results when making a video, focus on the object and keep 50cm under
sufficient illumination, the video will then remain natural and clear looking.
Pressing the power button slightly, a yellow light will start to blink indicating that the device is
ready to be used. Then press the Mode button to switch in to sound control, a red light will start
to flash to signify this. When the decibel reaches 60, the device will start to record automatically
for 2 minutes. If after 2 minutes there is no sound, the device will save automatically and switch
to standby mode. If there is still sound after 2 minutes then the device will carry on filming.
On the CD provided with the product there will be a file named time synchronization. When the
device is connected to the computer the time will synchronize with the time displayed on the

Line 2 - 2009 / 07 / 22
Line 3 –12:00:00

set the time and date according to the file. After that the text will then be deleted by the
system automatically.
Under video or standby mode, press the power button for 3 seconds then release until the
indicator light goes out.

automatically then auto-power off.

NOTE:
a. If the device isn’t detected within 30 seconds of being connected to the PC, remove and
insert again.

than on the device itself as this can cause the data to be transmitted poorly due to the
size of the files.
Before using the camera for the first time, the driver (which can be found on the supplied CD) will
need to be installed. Once the disk has been installed, follow the on screen instructions until the
AMCAP icon appears on the desktop.
