Formatting
Standard formatting tools provided by the operating system are not always reliable and
should not be used. In addition, they do not optimize the SD card's performance.
For optimal card performance it is recommended to either use the Windows setup
program (mSetup, see below), the Android or iOS app (Mobius Maxi WiFi, see below),
or use the camera's built-in formatter. Instructions for In-Camera Formatting are outlined
below.
In-Camera formatting is also available via the OSD menu.
Another excellent formatting utility is "SD Formatter" which can be downloaded from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html. This utility has been
specifically designed to format SD cards.

USB connector

The Mobius Maxi uses a 10 pin Mini USB connector. Although 10-pin, the connector is
compatible with all standard 5-pin 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 (5-pin) 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

problems. If possible, keep the cable as short as possible.
