The flashing red LED light indicates the battery with the lowest charge. To remove the battery from the Cite unit, slide the battery release tab. Each battery is spring loaded and will slide forward for easier removal once the tab has been released. Replace with a fully charged battery.
Cables The cable used to connect the lens module to the Cite unit can either be screwed into place or left unscrewed. When left unscrewed, the cable connecting the lens module to the Cite unit can be released quickly, however the unit waterproof rating will not apply. When the cable is screwed into place at both ends, the unit is waterproof to a depth of 3 metres.
Power LED Lights After inserting a battery into the Cite unit, two red LED flashes will confirm if the inserted battery is OK. If the two red LED flashes do not appear, there may be a fault with the battery and a replacement should be inserted.
These LED lights can flash one of three colours; blue, green or red. Blue LED light - There is no activity, e.g. there is no GPS signal and/or the Video system is not recording. Green LED light- The system is active, e.g. there is a GPS signal and/or the Video system is recording. Red LED Light- There is an error.

The lens module also has a rotating mounting support located at the base of the lens ring to allow a mount to be placed at any angle. It is important to ensure that the video cable from the lens module to the Cite unit is always pointing towards the ground to guarantee the recorded image is not displayed upside down.

Recording Video The record function of the Cite unit can be activated in four ways: 1. Manual activation, using the record button on the unit itself. 2. Remote activation. 3. Gsensor activation. 4. External trigger – e.g. activation of lights/sirens. Manual Activation To activate the record function manually from the Cite unit, depress the record button.
Remote Activation The Cite remote device is similar to a wrist watch. The user can use the remote to activate and deactivate the recording system. To activate or de-activate the recording system, press the start button located at the top right hand corner of the remote.
Viewing Recorded Video Recorded video can be viewed directly on the Cite LCD screen, or by using a mini HDMI cable, the video can be viewed directly on another output source such as a TV or monitor. To view a recorded video, press the ‘Sleep/Wake/Exit’ button to activate the LCD display. Looking at the Cite unit from a top down view, press the right toggle button.
Using the Remote Control The Cite remote device is similar to a wrist watch. The user can use the remote to activate and deactivate the recording system and to check battery health. The remote control uses an RF trigger and can operate the Cite unit within a 15 metre radius. Pairing the Remote with the Cite Unit Each remote control device must be paired with a Cite unit.
A LED will flash on the face of the remote under the word ‘Mode’ each time the button is pressed. Green Flash – System is recording Blue Flash – System is idle, no longer recording Red Flash – an error has occurred. The corresponding LED lights will also flash on the Cite unit as outlined in ‘Manual Activation’...
Lock Out Button When activated this feature locks all buttons located on the Cite unit to avoid accidental activation/deactivation. The lock out button is located on top of the Cite unit, just below the right toggle button. Slide the button across to the closed padlock symbol to activate, or slide the button across to the unlocked padlock symbol to deactivate.
The ‘P’ icon located at the top left corner of the LCD screen represents the pre-record mode. When the ‘P’ icon is dark blue, the pre-record function is active. When the ‘P’ icon is light blue, the pre- record function is inactive. NB: Pre-record mode is inactive when the Cite unit is in sleep mode.
Mounting Options The Cite unit can be mounted using any number of generic or custom made mounts. If the Cite unit is permanently mounted in a vehicle, then power and remote triggers functions can also be hardwired to the vehicle. Data Storage It is recommended that a micro SD card with a maximum storage of 32GB, class 10 is used with the Cite system.
Log File The Cite system uses a log file that automatically records all interactions with the Cite unit. For example the log will record, when menu settings have been changed, opening of the battery compartment door, removal of the SD from the unit, when the unit was activated/deactivated, change of user, activation/deactivation of tactical mode.
Firmware Upgrade To upgrade the firmware on the Cite unit, remove all batteries from the Cite unit. Launch the firmware upgrade application; locate the upgrade firmware binary file. Using the specialised USB cable, connect the Cite unit to the PC. The ‘Upgrade Firmware’ button will turn grey in appearance.
