Preparation

Charging the battery

Before using the X150 for the ﬁrst time you should fully charge the battery.

Procedure:

Connect the X150 to a computer (or other USB POWER source) using the USB cable provided, to charge.

If the X150 is on when charging, 3 red lights will blink until the battery is fully charged. Only one red light will blink if the X150 is o when charging.

A completely ﬂat battery will take about 5 hours to fully charge. The red light (below mini HDMI port) will turn o when the battery is fully charged.

Insert the Micro SD Card*

• It is recommended to use Class-6 or Class-10 Micro SD card to ﬁlm smooth video ﬁles. Higher resolutions will not work with SD cards lower than a Class-6.

• There is only one correct way to insert the Micro SD card into the slot. Do not force the card into the card slot, as it may damage both the X150 and the card.

• It is recommended to format new cards or cards that have been previously used in other devices. To format the Micro SD card:

1. Enter the General Settings menu by pressing the POWER button.

2. Press and HOLD the SHOOT button for 3 seconds to enter the General Settings.
