Vantage LED indicators
Charging
Place the Vantage in the dock to start charging. The Power
LED will be RED while charging, and then change to GREEN
when the battery is fully charged. It will also be green if power
is connected and no camera is present.
The Vantage battery-LEDs will flash in sequence one at a time as the battery achieves
25%/50%/75%/100% capacity. All four LEDs will continue to flash when the battery is fully
charged. A fully depleted battery will require 2 ½ hours to charge.
Recording
In order to start a recording, the unit must be powered on (power switch is on the bottom of
the camera), with sufficient battery power and media space available. To Start a recording,
slide the REC Switch down momentarily and release. Vantage will beep and vibrate once*,
indicating recording has started. The REC LED will then continuously flash red*, indicating
that video and audio are being recorded.
To Stop a recording, slide and hold the REC switch down for 2 seconds, then release.
Vantage will beep and vibrate twice*, to indicate the recording has stopped. The REC LED
will no longer be illuminated.
Sleep Mode
Vantage includes a “Sleep” Mode that conserves battery power. When sleeping, all LEDs are
off. Pressing the record switch will wake the camera: in 2 seconds you will see the camera’s
LEDs illuminate, then start recording within 3 more seconds. You can also wake the camera
momentarily with a quick press of the Bookmark button, which will briefly display battery
status, or with a quick press of the Mute button – which will cause the media LED to briefly
flash blue. The camera will return to sleep mode after 30 seconds of inactivity (e.g. after a
recording is stopped). While the camera is awake, (including when Sleep Mode is disabled)
recordings will start in ½ second of pressing the record switch.

flashing to solid red.
Unless configured otherwise, Vantage will start each recording with Mute deactivated (audio
record enabled).
When Mute function is toggled OFF (audio record enabled), Vantage will vibrate once to
indicate that Mute has been deactivated, and the REC LED will change from solid to flashing
red.
