Precautions
General Precautions
Please take note of the following guidelines when using your Ghost 4K camera:
•The camera is 2m shock resistant, but not shock proof — please take care of your camera and accessories, mounting and storing them securely.
•For your safety, do not press the buttons on the camera during sports activities.
•Do not store the camera anywhere prone to dust or damp for extended periods of time.
•Do not leave the camera exposed to extremely high temperatures— such as under direct sunlight—for extended periods of time as this may affect the camera housing and internal components.
•Clean the lens and screen with a micro fibre, antistatic cloth to remove fingerprints or dust—no cleaning chemicals are required.
•The camera has a working temperature range of -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
•Power off the camera before removing the battery module or memory card—the memory card and stored data may be damaged if it is removed or inserted while the camera is powered on.
•Remove the memory card before storing the camera for long periods of time.

Precautions
Attention
Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
DO NOT short-circuit the battery module terminals.
DO NOT open, puncture or otherwise damage the rechargeable battery module, or dispose of it in fire.
Optimal Camera Storage
We recommend users to regularly store cameras for a minimum of 6-12 hours with the battery module removed in a maximum of 30% humidity to help disperse any moisture.
Avoid removing Ghost 4K modules in damp or humid conditions.
Water Resistance
The Ghost 4K is water resistant, but not waterproof. This means that you can use your camera in the rain, providing the USB and memory card covers and a Ghost 4K module are securely in place, but the camera cannot be submerged.
For any activities where the camera may be subjected to impact of water or submersion, the ghost 4K waterproof case (sold separately) is required.
Disclaimer
Drift Innovation will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for injuries or property damaged incurred during participation of any high-risk sport or activity not endorsed or recommended by Drift Innovation. Remember that the warranty will only cover manufacturing defects.

Charging
•For best results charge your camera and battery module simultaneously.

•Lift the front rubber port on the underside of the camera.
•Connect the included mini USB cable to a powered USB port, and then to your Ghost 4K USB port.

If connected to a computer USB port the Ghost 4K screen will show a USB icon.
•A full charge takes around 2.5 hours (min. 1A USB port). Once the camera is fully charged, remove the mini USB cable, and replace the rubber port cover.
Battery Life
At a temperature of 25°C (77°F), recording continuously with the standard battery module installed, your Ghost 4K battery will last for 2hrs 30mins on a full charge.
Using an External Power Supply
The camera can be powered by an external power supply such as a USB power adaptor or power pack. We recommend you to power off your camera before connecting to any external power supply.
Press the 
button to begin normal usage when using an external power supply. If the external power is cut off for any reason during recording, the camera will immediately start drawing power from the rechargeable battery instead and continue recording, protecting your footage from file corruption.
