video on the internal 4GB memory. View or save
your files on any PC with a USB port. Recharge the

VIDEO RECORDING
PEN
Rotate the metal collar at the tip to
extend or retract the writing nib.
USB DRIVE
The pen can be used as a standard USB Flash
memory stick for transporting and transferring files.
INSUFFICIENT MEMORY OR BATTERY
When the camera’s memory is full or the battery
has run out of power, the Status Indicator light will
alternately flash amber and blue for five seconds.
It will then save the current file and shut down. You
must remove the files stored on the memory to
make space available to record further or recharge
the battery as appropriate.
PARTS
OPERATION
CHARGING
The pen features a high-capacity rechargable
lithium polymer battery. This form of battery does
not have a “memory” effect meaning that it can
be recharged at any time without loss of capacity.
However, it is recommended that you fully charge
the battery and then use the camera normally until
it is fully discharged before recharging. Cycling the
battery in this manner for the first five times will
ensure maximum battery capacity and operation
time.
When charging the battery – whether using the
included charger, or plugged into an active USB
port – the status light will flash yellow/amber until
the battery is fully charged. During the first few
uses, allow the pen to continue charging for an
hour after the light stops flashing.
When using the charger, both the green and red
lights will illuminate until the battery is fully charged.
When fully charged, only the red light will remain
illuminated.
SETTING DATE & TIME
To ensure that your camera records the proper
date and time on the files, you should run the
Setting Time Tools V2.0 program located in the
folder of the same name on the included mini-CD.
When the program launches, a Command window
will open and the program will update the date and
time based on your computer’s settings.
HELPFUL HINTS
• When taking pictures, you will get the best
results if both you and your subject are relatively
still.
• The camera should be at least one foot from
your subject when taking pictures.
• While recording video, you should try to keep
the camera steady and avoid rapid movements
for best video quality.
• You should not hold the pocket clip while taking
video in order to avoid blocking the microphone
or lens.
