Operating The Thumbcam - Swann ThumbCam DVR-415 Instructions D'utilisation

Operating the ThumbCam

To turn the ThumbCam ON:
• Press and hold the Power Button for approximately one second.
• The blue and red LEDs will come on. When the red LED turns off and the blue
LED stays on, this indicates that the ThumbCam is now ready to record.
To turn the ThumbCam OFF:
• Press the Power Button for approximately one second.
• Do NOT turn the
after recording video.
• The ThumbCam needs several seconds after stopping a recording to write the
video the microSD card – turning the ThumbCam off during the writing to card
process will corrupt the data, and render the video file unusable.
Low Power & Automatic Shutdown:
When the ThumbCam's battery starts to run low, it will automatically shut itself
down. If it is currently recording a video, it will stop recording and finalize writing
the video file to the microSD card before turning itself off. Recharge the battery
fully before turning the ThumbCam on again.
The ThumbCam will also automatically shut itself down when about to run out of
recording space on its microSD card. To fix this, replace the microSD card with a
fresh (or, at least, not full) one, or connect the ThumbCam to a PC and clear data
off the card by cutting and pasting it, or simply deleting it.
Resetting the ThumbCam:
Occasionally, particularly during long periods of constant use, the ThumbCam may
freeze and stop working correctly. If this happens, the ThumbCam needs to be
reset.
To reset the ThumbCam:
• Locate the Reset button, located immediately below the microSD card slot.
• Using a thin (not sharp!) object such as an unfolded paper clip or hair pin,
press and hold the Reset button for approximately one second.
• Wait whilst the
turned on.
• Once the ThumbCam has been reset, you'll need to set the Time and Date
again (see page 11).
