BEFORE YOU START

You will rst need to connect your watch to your PC or Mac. You do not need additional
drivers to do this - your PC may install standard drivers when it rst connects. is is
normal.

Plug USB cable to

watch FIRST, THEN

to computer

On the le side of your watch, carefully unscrew the center knob. e USB port is here.
Plug one end of the included USB cable into the port on your watch. is should go all the
way into the watch. en, connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. Please do not
use a hub. Connect directly to port on your PC!!

In a few moments, your PC will automatically nd and install your watch. Your watch will
appear as an External Device or Removable Disk.

is is how you will access your video, photo and audio les to save them to your PC. is
is also how you charge your watch.

Charging the rst time may take several hours. Allow 4-6 hours. We recommend overnight
charge the rst time you charge. You may access your les during charging.

Now, download the les you will need to setup your product.

SET THE TIMESTAMP

DOUBLE-CLICK (le button) on the TIME.TXT le on your watch.

A text editor window will appear. Please adjust the year, month, day, hours, minutes and
seconds to your current date and time. Very important that you maintain the format. If
you change it by accident, please return it to original format, or just re-save time le if you
dont remember!
Also note the use of a 24 hour clock.

In above example we have:

October 01, 2013 at 10:39 am and 00 seconds.

2013(period)10(period)01(SPACE)10(colon)39(colon)00

When complete, SAVE this le and exit your text editor and unplug your watch.

e next time you turn on your watch, the time le will be ‘absorbed’ and time adjusted.

NOTE: At this point, we highly recommend you do a test video to make
sure time stamp was successful.

If the timestamp is not correct, please redo the steps in this section of the manual.
