real-time video with audio in a compact, discrete
package. Store nearly 4,000 pictures or 2 hours of
video on the internal 4GB memory. View or save
your files on any PC with a USB port. Recharge the
pen with the included charger or from a computer’s

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.
