Camera Unit
CFC2810C
The on/off switch and USB
charging socket are located at
the back of the camera under the screw-on aluminium cap.
To maintain the camera’s IP67 rating, the camera must not be
disassembled. There are no user serviceable items inside the
camera and disassembly will void the warranty.
There is a rubber seal on the body of the camera that seals the
on/off switch and USB charge socket. It is important that this seal
remains clean and in good condition.
The IP67 rating is only when the back cap is securely
screwed on and the rubber seal is in good condition.
Refer to www.youtube.com/cableferret for instructions on how
to change the back rubber seal.
Turn On/Off – Slide the switch at the rear of the camera to turn
the camera on or off. When turned on the front LEDs will

is charging the red LED at the rear will illuminate. Once fully
charged the red LED at the rear will turn off.
Note: When the camera is screwed on to the push-pull rods and in use,
take care not to twist the rod to far anti-clockwise as this may result in the
camera unscrewing and becoming disconnected from the rod.
