Reviewing Files on a Computer
To view your files on a computer, simply connect the device via the supplied USB cord or by inserting the device directly into
a USB port, making sure the device is powered OFF (or you can take insert SD card into your computer) . It will connect as a
removable drive, and depending on the settings on your PC, it may automatically notify you that new hardware has been
detected. If so, select Open Folder to View Files. (If nothing is happening when the device is plugged it, it may be possible
that the USB is either not properly connected or connected backward, we suggest rotating the pen 180 degrees of the USB
connector and insure that the USB pins are lined up)
If it is not automatically detected, click Start on your desktop. Select My Computer if you are using Windows, or Computer if
using Windows Vista or Windows 7. The device should be listed as a Removable Disk under the Devices With Removable
Storage section. Open that drive, there should be 4 subfolders AUDIO, IMAGE, SYSTEM, and VIDEO. The Video files will
be stored in the VIDEO folder, the audio files in AUDIO folder and photos in the IMAGE folder. As mentioned earlier, we
suggest using VLC Player to play back video files.
On a
Mac OS X System
open the finder icon, the pen will be listed under devices in the left hand side on the bottom of the
finder menu with an eject button next to it. As mentioned earlier, we suggest using
VLC Player
to play back video files in
Mac.
Setting Time and Date
Setting the time and date stamp on your device is easy. Simply
create a .txt file
on your computer and name it
“time” (on
MAC use program “TextEdit” on Windows us “Notepad”).
In that file you will enter the date and time in the following
format: year.month.day hour:minute:second.
(Ex.
2011.01.31 12:00:00Y
) Setting Time and Date. To turn the time and date stamp off, enter N instead of Y.
Once you’ve created the file, connect the device to your computer via USB and save the .txt file to the device’s root directory
NOT IN ANY OF THE SUB FOLDERS. When you connect the device to your computer, it will be assigned a drive letter (ex.
C:, D:, E:). When you open that drive, you are in the root directory, or topmost level of the drive.
After you have loaded the file, safely disconnect the device from your computer, turn the device on and off, and the time and
date you loaded should now appear on any new videos and photos you record.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
The device seems to have frozen and isn’t reacting when any buttons are pressed.
Solution
:
This usually occurs if the device receives too many commands in too short a time. To reset the device, insert a pin
into the reset hole and hold for 2 – 3 sec
Problem
:
When playing back my video, I can hear audio, but have no video.
Solution
:
This most often occurs if your computer’s media player is having trouble with your files. Try using VLC player,
which can be downloaded for free at
Problem
:
My video playback is “choppy” or “stuttering.”
Solution
:
If this is occurring, try copying the video files to your PC. This happens when the file is too large to be played back
using your USB connection. If that does not help please format the SD card.
