II) Camera Precautions
Notice the following guidelines when using your camera
• The Fun Movie Cam is shock resistant, not shock proof.
• For your safety, do not press the buttons on the camera during sports
activities.
• Do not place the camera in areas prone to dust or damp for extended
periods of time. This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
• Do not leave the camera in places exposed to extremely high
temperatures, such as under direct sunlight, for extended periods of
time. This may affect the camera housing and internal components.
• Clean the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or dust.
• We recommend using Alkaline batteries in temperatures between 32°F
to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
• The working temperature range of a normal Alkaline AA battery is 32°F
to104°F (0°C to 40°C). Above or below this temperature may cause the
batteries to malfunction, therefore for use in low temperature, we
recommend changing to Lithium batteries.
• Turn the camera off before removing the batteries or memory card. The
card and the data may be damaged if the memory card is inserted or
removed while the camera is still on.
• Remove the batteries and memory card before storing the camera for
long periods of time. Keep it in a well-ventilated place to prevent mould.

qualified personnel:
a) The plug is damaged or worn.
b) The device has been dropped and/or the housing has been damaged.

There’s no display

After the camera is connected to my PC, it cannot
find the new drive in the ‘My Computer’ folder
• Ensure each end of the USB cable is properly and firmly connected.
• Ensure your USB port is working properly. Try connecting another
USB device into the port. If the other device does not work, the USB
port may have a malfunction. In this case, contact your system
manufaturer or the manufacturer of your USB card.
I can’t capture video footage
• Ensure there is enough space on the SD card; the display will tell
you how much time there is left for video recording.
• Ensure the SD card is not locked. The letters “Err” will be displayed if
the SD card is locked.
The remaining time is not accurate
• The remaining time is an estimate.
• The remaining time depends not only on the time recorded, but on
the color density of the video footage. Under conditions with high
contrast, such as outdoors, the actual time available will be less than
under low-contrast conditions, such as indoors.
I can’t play the video footage on my television
• Ensure each end of the AV cable is properly and firmly connected to
the camera and to your television.
• Ensure the camera and television are both turned on.
• Ensure you have selected PB to view files.
The sound is very low or there is no sound
• Ensure the audio is on by following the instructions in the Sound
Recording section.
• The camera is specifically designed for extreme sports and is
