Page 3: Precautions And Notices
Precautions and notices • Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your recorder. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to the recorder and will void any warranty. • If you see or smell smoke from the recorder, stopping charging immediately. • Keep the recorder away from the chemical substances or detergents. They could be corrosive and cause damage to the surface of the recorder. • Do not subject your recorder to severe shock, or insert any object other than memory card into the slot. • Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material appears near the lens. Please keep the lens clean. • Always use the supplied mounting equipment with the recorder. When mounting on a motorbike or bicycle, make sure that you place the recorder in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct your view. • A MicroSD card (not included) is required for video recordings. • For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the recorder while riding a motorbike or bicycle. • It is normal for the quality of video to be momentarily affected as the recorder moves from very dark to very bright conditions. • When taking the recorder out of the water, make sure the device is completely dried-up and all foreign objects are removed before opening the protection cap. • As the battery life may be affected by extreme cold temperatures, you are advised to turn on the device in a warm place before use and to keep the device connected to power when in use. - Page 4 • Avoid spray on the device while the protection cap is loose or removed; otherwise, it may cause damage to the device. • Do not use the device with a wet hand while the protection cap is loose or removed.
