4 STEP 1 GETTING STARTED Charging Your Cam Pen (First time only, charge for 4 hours thereafter, it s usually a 15 minute recharge) Plug the USB cable into the pen s camera USB port and plug the other end into your computer USB port (see illustration). First Time Charge 4 Hours! Disconnect the pen from your USB cable/port once the charge is complete. A fully charged pen will have about 1.5 hours of recording time. Recharging Your Cam Pen Recharge your pen as needed usually approximately 15 minutes. Your pen s indicator light will blink while recharging, but once fully charged, it will shift from a blinking light to a constant solid light. That's it! Insert the Micro SD Memory Card Gently, but firmly, slide the micro SD card into your pen slot (see illustration). You should feel solid resistance when the SD card is fully inserted into the pen. About 1/8 of the SD card will show when it s inserted correctly. You are now ready to use your pen. Note: The Cam Pen will not work without the micro SD memory card. All recordings/photos are stored on the SD card. Ensure the micro SD card is pushed in completely or it will not collect data from the recording session. The indicator light will blink red to indicate an SD card error. (This typically means the SD card is inserted improperly.) Your SD card's memory capacity (2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB) will determine how much data can be recorded while using the pen. Your pen has a rechargeable lithium battery that can accommodate about 1.5 hours of recording time for both videos and photos. Recharge your pen as needed. It usually takes approximately 15 minutes. (See Recharging Your Cam Pen instructions, above.) STEP 2 TURN ON THE SPY PEN Power up your pen by pressing the On/Off Button on the top of the pen (see illustration) for 2 3 seconds. (To power off, press On/Off Button for 6 seconds.) Check the indicator light to ensure the pen has powered up properly. A SOLID GREEN indicator light will show the pen is on and in READY MODE. READY MODE means you can start taking videos/photos.

5 STEP 3 START RECORDING VIDEO From READY MODE start recording by pressing the On/Off Button for 2 3 seconds. Check the indicator light. The light will blink several times to indicate that recording is about to begin. Once recording begins the indicator light dims to a slow and steady blink. It should not attract attention during a recording session. Be sure that the camera lens (see illustration) remains unobstructed during the recording session. To produce clean, clear recordings, hold the pen as steady as possible during recording sessions. STEP 4 ENDING A RECORDING SESSION To stop recording, click the On/Off button once. For multiple recordings, simply toggle from recording to stop recording to record again. Once finished recording, remember to power OFF your pen by pressing the On/Off Button for 6 seconds. STEP 5 TAKING A PHOTO Take photos with one quick click to the On/Off Button. The green indicator light will blink once to indicate that it has captured the photograph and returned to READY MODE. STEP 6 VIEWING YOUR RECORDINGS AND PHOTOS Unscrew the top of the pen to expose the USB port (see illustration). Connect the USB cable to the pen and connect the other end to your computer. Wait for the pen s SD memory card device icon to appear on your computer desktop. (Or look to your computer s removable drives for the SD card.) Double click on the icon/removable drive to open and download the video footage/photos onto your computer hard drive. It's best to view the photos and videos directly on your computer, not directly from the pen. Just copy the cam pen s files (photos & videos) onto your computer before viewing.

6 STEP 7 ERASE FILES FROM YOUR MICRO SD CARD ~ FOR REUSE You can erase all videos and photos from your pen s SD card by clicking on each video/photo and pressing the delete key on your computer s keyboard. Once all videos/photos are removed, your SD card is ready to record and take more videos and photos. Be sure you are looking at the files on your SD card (removable disc folder) and not those stored on your computer. Use the same method to erase your computer files (video/photo) or save them to review over and over. STEP 8 CHANGING THE DATE ON YOUR CAM PEN Connect the USB cable to the USB port of the computer. Open the removable disc folder and you will find the time.txt. Revise the time and date in this file time.txt and Save it. Next time, it will show the correct time when you take videos/photos. If your pen is unresponsive and you have not charged it for awhile, recharging your pen should remedy the problem. It needs a charged up battery to handle recording videos easily. Download your recordings and images onto your computer before viewing them. The data transfer speed from your pen simply isn't fast enough to accommodate real time viewing; it will cause the footage to appear choppy. Some computers may not have software programs that will easily play your recordings. You may wish to download the most recent version of VLC Player. It can be downloaded for free at Enjoy your Sherlock Hones Spy Pen Camera!
