SQ11 - Mini Cube Camera - Instruction Manual

The SQ11 Needs to be Charged

It is important to note that before using the SQ11 for the first time it is required to fully charge the device.

This camera has a built-in lithium-ion battery. There are several ways to charge it ...

1. Connect the mini camera to the USB port of your PC with the included USB chord (be sure to stop recording first).
2. Connect the mini camera to a charger from a 220V network or a portable 5V charger. You may continue to use the camera utilizing this charging process. While the camera is accepting a charge, the blue and red LED lights will shine constantly.

After the mini camera is fully charged, the blue LED light will shine constantly (also the red LED light will turn off).

Special Cases

If the lithium-ion battery has zero charge or the memory card is maxed out on space, the blue and red LEDs on the SQ11 will blink for a solid 5 seconds. When this happens the mini camera will save the recorded video and automatically power down.

If the memory card is not placed in the slot, the blue and red LED lights of the SQ11 will blink simultaneously for 5 seconds. After this, the mini camera will automatically power down.

If the camcorder is in "idle stand by mode", the mini camera automatically powers down after 1 minute to save the charge of the built-in battery.
