Right. So, you've got the SportsCam. lt's Friday afternoon, and you're
headed out skating on Saturday morning and you want to get the
SportsCam setup and ready to rock and/or roll.

1. Charge the battery.

Short version: Plug the little end of the USB cable into the SportsCam,
and the big end into the included power adapter. Plug the power
adapter into a wall socket. Wait two to three hours. Bam!
Check out page 8 for the long version on getting yourself some power.

2. Jam a microSD car

d in it. Gently.

Short version: Ensure there's nothing on the microSD card you want
to keep, as we'II be formatting it in a moment (that erases all the data
and preps it for recording video). The SportsCam shoots high-def video,
so grab yourself a decently big card - we reckon that 8GB is a realistic
minimum, with 16GB or 32GB cards recommended.
Check out page 7 for the long version regarding microSD cards.

3. Set up your Camera using the On-Screen Menus
Short version: Connect the S

portsCam to a television or monitor using

either the mini-HDMI output or the COMPOSITE VIDEO output (that's
the weird USB to RCA cable - one end goes into the USB port on the
SportsCam and the other to the VIDEO IN on a TV). Use the Remote
Control to access the menus see(“The Remote Control" on page 1 4).
We think the best course of action is to:

Choose your recording format (PAL or NTSC).
Format your microSD card.
Set the Date and Time.
Choose your Resolution.
Choose your Quality settings.

Choosing a microSD card:

The SportsCam will accept a microSD card up to 32GB in capacity.
You can store between 7— 30 minutes worth of video per gigabyte

(GB). Check out page 17 for more information on recording times
versus quality settings.
We recommend using cards of at least 8GB to ensure that the SportsCam
won't run out of storage space whilst you're filming, 16GB or 32GB are
recommended for recording in 1080p at high quality.
Of course, if you only want to record ten minutes at a time, you could
get away with a much smaller card. But remember, when it runs out -

that'II be all she wrote!

For reliable performance, we strongly suggest that you

use a card with a speed rating of “Class 4”or higher.

Hold the SportsCam so that the rear panel is facing you, and
the power/record button is facing up.
Orient the microSD card so that the text is facing up.
Gently push the microSD card into the slot. Be careful that it

goes in correctly - if it misses the slot or is inserted at an angle,
it could become jammed.
The card will "click" into place once fully inserted.
To remove the card, simply push it in. This will release the

locking mechanism, and the card will sprin

g out. Be careful when
removing the microSD card - the little spring that pushes it
out is quite powerful.

Look for these symbols:
