Reformatting The Micro Sd Card; Rotating Lens; External Microphone; Hdmi - Midland XTC 400 Manual

Reformatting the Micro SD card

Note: Before the first usage Format the microSD card
following this procedure
The micro SD card can be reformatted while in the came-
ra. This allows you to completely delete all the files at one
time. Follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the format button
2. Move the RECORD switch to the forward/ON position.
3. The camera will beep 4 times and the icon will alternate
blinking red and blue
When complete, the camera will beep twice, then turn off.

Rotating Lens

To maintain upright orientation for your video when the
camera is mounted at an angle, the XTC400's lens can ro-
tate 180° in one direction and -90° in the other. There are
indentations every 90° to enable you to twist the lens into
place at commonly used angles.

External Microphone

To connect your camera to an external microphone, first
open the rubber cover and then insert the 3.5mm micro-
phone jack into the plug. If you are using a headset, the left
speaker will be used as the microphone. In addition, you
may also connect an mp3 player to directly record music
to your video.

HDMI

Connect your micro HDMI cable (not included) to both de-
vices –camera and tv/monitor. Once connected, switch the
camera to the ON (forward) position. This will enable live
streaming, but will not record.
When the switch is moved back to the OFF position, video
playback will start from the micro SD card. To skip to the
next file, toggle the switch ON. For the next file, toggle the
switch OFF. Continue in this manner to flip through your
files. You can always skip forward to the following file, but
cannot move backward to previous files. If you would like to
return to a previous file, you must either unplug the device
from the HDMI cable and plug it in again, or loop through
all of your files.

Battery

The included lithium-ion battery comes partially charged.
To charge, connect the included micro USB cable to camera
and connect the other end of the cable to a power source
such as a computer, wall charger or vehicle charger. No da-
mage will occur to the camera or battery if used prior to a
full charge. See page 20 for battery status indications.
