4. Using Your Camera
4.1 Charging Your Camera
Charge your camera through the USB cable connected to a USB2.0 computer port,
the AC adapter (included) on wall power, DC Car adapter (included) or any 5V 1A
AC/DC adapter. The LED indicator lights RED when the camera is charging and turns
off once the camera is fully charged. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the camera.
4.2 Inserting a Memory Card
The camera has two MicroSD card slots, one for CAR mode and the other for DV
mode. A MicroSD card (not included) must be inserted in at least one of the slots to
use your camera.
Notes:
1. There is only one direction to insert the MicroSD
card into the slot. Do not force the card into the
card slot as it may damage both the camera and
the MicroSD card.
2. Camera power must be OFF when inserting or
removing a card. Files or the card may be
corrupted if a card is moved while power is on.
3. A new MicroSD card should be formatted before use. For more information, please
see section 7.2 or use your computer’s native formatting facilities.
4.3 Setting Date and Time
Set the camera’s clock with the iON application software (resident on the camera).
1. Turn the camera power on.
2. Connect the camera to a Mac or Windows computer USB 2.0 port using the USB
cable.
3. 3 new Removable Devices will be added to MS Windows “Computer” or Mac
“Finder.” Open the first of the new devices and run the iON Application Software,
iON_win.exe on Windows or iON_mac.app on Mac.
4. Find the “Date & Time” at the bottom of the Setting Window and click “Set”.
5. Adjust the date and time manually or click “Sync with PC” to set the camera time
to the same time as your PC clock.
6. Click “OK” to save the settings.
7. Disconnect your camera from the PC immediately after setting date/time to
ensure the date & time is set correctly.
4.4 Sealing Camera with PODZ to Prevent Water Damage
The waterproof housing allows you to operate the camera up to 10 meters or 30 feet
under water. You must seal the camera with the basic PODZ (included) or another
PODZ accessory to protect the camera when using it in wet or moist conditions.
Notes:
1. The rubber seal on the PODZ forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera
in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as a single
strand of hair or grain of sand can cause a leak into the product.
2. After every use in salt water, make sure to rinse the outside of the product and
the seal with clean fresh water and dry thoroughly. Failure to do so will result in
product corrosion and seal decay leading to permanent product damage and
failure.
Warning:
Please make sure to install and lock the PODZ correctly before using the camera to
avoid water damage. Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that
damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage
resulting from user's misuse or neglect.
1. Attach the PODZ to the back of the camera and rotate clockwise until the dots are
aligned as the picture shown in section 3.1.
2. Slide the latch on the PODZ to lock it.
