GETTING STARTED
Quick Start
Here’s the fastest way to start recording video right out of the box. Since the battery is unlikely to be
charged, connect the USB cable to the camera and AC adapter and plug the adapter into a power
outlet. Insert a microSD memory card with a capacity of 32GB or less. Keep in mind that the camera’s
date/time stamp will not be accurate since it would need to be first adjusted from the computer
software. If it’s not already in place, move the three-position switch to the middle position, the On-
the-go mode indicated by the running man icon. Hold down the power button until the LED turns
green. When you see the green LED continually flashing, the camera is recording.
Make sure the front of the camera and its pinhole lens are pointed at your subject.
Charging the Battery
The LED flashes red while charging and turns off when the battery is fully charged. The fastest way to
charge the Z12 is by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet or power strip while the other end of
the cable is connected to the USB port on the right side of the camera (with the lens facing you). If this
is the product’s first use or the battery hasn’t been refreshed in several months, charge the battery
for 6 hours (when not recording) or until the red LED turns off. Charging the camera from a
computer’s USB port will take longer. You can also charge the camera using the included car adapter,
which turns the cigarette lighter into a USB charging port. Recharging the camera regularly shouldn’t
take more than 1 to 3 hours depending on how much the battery has been depleted.
