Before you start
Before using the camera for the first time, ensure the internal battery is fully charged.
See below under "Charging".
The Reset button
The reset button is the smaller hole located just below and to the right of the card
slot. It can be pressed by carefully inserting a bent paper clip or similar instrument.
The Reset button should only be pressed in case the camera no longer reacts to
button presses. Pressing the Reset button will force the processor to restart. No
parameter settings will be lost and the RTC (Real Time Clock) will not be interrupted.
Do not confuse the reset button with the larger rear LED to the right of the reset
button..
The Power button
Press the power button until the dimmed yellow LED is visible to turn the camera on.
Depending on the Power-On Delay parameter setting, the Power button may have to
be pressed for 3 seconds. This setting is a safety measure to prevent the camera
from being accidentally turned on. After a short while the red LED will turn on and
then blink before a steady yellow LED is shown. The camera is now ready for use
(standby).

If the camera has been configured with Auto Power On Record set to On, the
camera will automatically begin recording in Mode 1.

To turn off the camera, first stop any recordings that may be running by

the Power-Off Delay parameter setting, the Power button may have to be
pressed for 3 seconds in order to turn the camera off.
