Inserting a memory card

The photos you take and the videos you record are stored on a micro-SD memory that is located in the battery stick.

Note: If you insert a micro-SD card that is too slow to work with your camera, the camera shows you a message and you are asked to use a supported micro-SD card.

Tip: Micro-SD cards can degrade over time, and performance may suffer as the memory card fills up.

Setting up

Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the

language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.

When you first switch on your Bandit, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer the questions by pressing the button to move up, down, left or right on the screen.

Tip: You do not need to connect you camera to the internet or to the mobile application to set it up for first use.

Using the universal mount

You can mount your camera in many places, for example on your helmet or on the handlebars using the optional bike mount.

EMAILED GAVIN FOR BETTER IMAGE

The universal mount kit lets you mount your camera on a helmet or other flat or slightly curved surface. The kit contains the universal mount and two adhesive discs.

1. Attach the adhesive disc to your chosen surface. Firmly press it into place to ensure full contact

over its entire surface. Follow these tips to make sure that the adhesive disc is secure:

 Apply the adhesive disc only to a clean and dry surface. Wax, oil, dirt and moisture reduce

adhesion, which can result in a weak bond.

 Attach the adhesive disc in dry, room-temperature conditions. The adhesive disc won't be

secure if you attach it in damp and cold conditions.

 Attach the adhesive disc only to a smooth and hard surface. The adhesive disc won't secure-

ly attach to porous, textured or soft surfaces.

 Regularly check the security of the adhesive disc.

2. Attach the universal mount to the adhesive disc by first fully opening the mount.

3. Push the mount onto the disc at any yaw angle until you hear a click.

4. Fold down the camera platform to any angle between 90 degrees to horizontal and fully closed.

This locks the mount to the disc.

5. Mount the camera on the camera platform.

6. Push down the lever to lock the mount.

Note: To remove the mount, reverse the above instructions.

Switching on and off

Switching on your Bandit

Press the START button (button 2) at the back of the camera for 2 seconds to switch your camera on. If no SD card is inserted into the battery stick, you are asked to insert one so that the camera can switch on.

If the camera is in standby mode, press the control button (button 5) to wake up the camera.

Switching off your Bandit

Press the STOP button (button 1) at the front of the camera for 2 seconds to switch off the camera.

Tagging a video

During recording, you can manually add a tag or highlight to your video. You can add a tag when something exciting or memorable happens such as reaching a fast speed, or

crashing. Or you could tag a beautiful view or the highest peak on a walk. You can easily create videos from your tags by using the TomTom MOBILE APP or the TomTom

DESKTOP APP. Automatic tags can be added to your video that include action metrics, for example speed, crashes

and jumps. To add a tag manually, press the START button (button 2).

Your camera

Getting started

Before you start making videos, it's a good idea to charge your camera, download any software updates and download QuickGPSfix.

Note: QuickGPSfix helps your camera get a GPS fix and find your location quickly.

1. First, charge your <TOMTOMPRODUCTNAMELONG>.

2. Register your camera at mysports.tomtom.com. You need your camera's serial number to do

this. After your camera is charged, you can record a video. You should connect your camera to your computer regularly to charge it, upload videos and photos,

download software updates and download QuickGPSfix information.

Battery life

When the battery is fully charged, your camera can be used for up to three hours of activities that need GPS reception, such as running and cycling. The battery is used more quickly if you use the

LED lights on your camera all the time, or connect the camera to sensors, such as the Heart Rate

Monitor. The following tips will help your camera go longer on a battery charge:

 Turn off the LED lights when you don't need them.  Turn off sensors that you are not using. Your camera keeps searching for sensors even if you are

not using a sensor.
