User Guide for the Mobius Mini ActionCam
Preliminary version
Description
The above picture shows the arrangement of the user operating features.
►This manual does not cover replacing the internal battery or lens.
►This manual assumes the camera is loaded with the latest firmware available at the
time of writing. Functionality may vary with earlier or later firmware versions.
Cards
You should always use micro SDHC or Micro SDXC cards with a class rating of 10 or
above. The cards may either be formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. Cards with a capacity of
200GB have been tested.
USB connector
The M2 uses a 10 pin Mini USB connector. The connector is compatible with all
standard mini USB cables for USB data transfer and charging.
Cables
The camera requires a standard (5-pin) USB cable for charging or connecting to
external battery packs for continuous recording. A standard USB cable is also used to
connect the camera to the PC in order to set the parameters or to access the camera as
an external disk.
A special 10-pin USB cable is required for A/V out (TV-Out, Video-Out)
You must under no circumstances use any other "special" cable, especially the "special"
cable supplied with the old #11 808 camera. Doing so will destroy your camera beyond
repair.
So, do not use a #11 "special" cable under any
circumstances.
►Always use HIGH QUALITY USB cables. Cheap cables may lead to all sorts of
problems. If possible, keep the cable as short as possible.
Before you start
Before using the camera for the first time, ensure the internal battery is fully charged.
See below under "Charging".
