Power	
  up/Power	
  down	
  
The	
  Power	
  button	
  turns	
  the	
  recorder	
  on	
  and	
  off.	
  To	
  power	
  up	
  the	
  recorder,	
  press	
  the	
  Power	
  button	
  and	
  hold	
  
for	
  1-‐2	
  seconds	
  until	
  the	
  LED	
  turns	
  from	
  orange	
  to	
  red.	
  The	
  recorder	
  will	
  take	
  a	
  few	
  seconds	
  to	
  go	
  through	
  its	
  
power	
  up	
  sequence,	
  and	
  when	
  it	
  has	
  finished,	
  it	
  will	
  be	
  in	
  Record	
  Standby	
  mode.	
  
To	
  power	
  down	
  the	
  recorder,	
  press	
  the	
  Power	
  button.	
  If	
  you	
  are	
  recording	
  a	
  video	
  clip	
  or	
  if	
  Keylock	
  is	
  enabled,	
  
and	
  you	
  press	
  the	
  Power	
  button,	
  the	
  recorder	
  will	
  not	
  power	
  down.	
  You	
  must	
  first	
  stop	
  recording	
  or	
  disable	
  
Keylock	
  and	
  then	
  press	
  the	
  Power	
  button	
  again.	
  This	
  ensures	
  that	
  you	
  will	
  not	
  corrupt	
  the	
  current	
  clip	
  by	
  
accidentally	
  powering	
  down.	
  
Keylock	
  
The	
  POV.HD	
  has	
  a	
  key	
  lock	
  feature	
  that	
  disables	
  all	
  keys	
  and	
  buttons	
  on	
  the	
  recorder.	
  Whenever	
  “Keylock”	
  
appears	
  in	
  the	
  lower	
  left	
  corner	
  of	
  the	
  LCD,	
  the	
  Keylock	
  feature	
  can	
  be	
  turned	
  on.	
  	
  
To	
  turn	
  on	
  Keylock,	
  	
  
• Press	
  the	
  left	
  soft	
  key	
  
• The	
  right	
  soft	
  key	
  is	
  then	
  labeled	
  “Yes”,	
  the	
  left	
  soft	
  key	
  is	
  labeled	
  “No”.	
  
• Click	
  Yes	
  to	
  lock	
  the	
  keys,	
  or	
  click	
  No	
  to	
  cancel	
  Keylock.	
  	
  
• The	
  left	
  soft	
  key	
  is	
  now	
  labeled	
  “Unlock”.	
  
With	
  Keylock	
  on,	
  all	
  keys	
  and	
  buttons,	
  including	
  Power,	
  are	
  disabled.	
  If	
  you’re	
  going	
  to	
  stash	
  the	
  recorder	
  in	
  
your	
  pack,	
  in	
  your	
  pocket,	
  under	
  the	
  seat,	
  or	
  just	
  about	
  anywhere	
  else	
  while	
  recording,	
  it’s	
  a	
  good	
  idea	
  to	
  turn	
  
Keylock	
  on.	
  
To	
  turn	
  Keylock	
  off,	
  	
  
• Press	
  the	
  left	
  (Unlock)	
  soft	
  key.	
  
• The	
  right	
  soft	
  key	
  will	
  now	
  be	
  labeled	
  “>”,	
  and	
  the	
  message	
  “Press	
  >	
  to	
  unlock”	
  is	
  displayed.	
  
• Press	
  >.	
  
• The	
  message	
  “Exit	
  Keylock”	
  is	
  displayed,	
  the	
  right	
  soft	
  key	
  is	
  labeled	
  “Yes”,	
  and	
  the	
  left	
  soft	
  key	
  is	
  
labeled “No”.
• Press Yes to release the locked keys. Press No to cancel unlocking.
Multiple	
  key	
  presses	
  are	
  required	
  to	
  release	
  Keylock	
  to	
  prevent	
  the	
  the	
  recorder	
  keys	
  and	
  buttons	
  from	
  
accidentally	
  being	
  enabled	
  if	
  the	
  recorder	
  is	
  dropped,	
  gets	
  bumped,	
  or	
  is	
  bouncing	
  around.	
  It’s	
  always	
  best	
  to	
  
secure	
  the	
  recorder,	
  but,	
  well,	
  things	
  happen.	
  
Operating modes
The	
  POV.HD	
  operates	
  in	
  several	
  different	
  modes,	
  depending	
  upon	
  the	
  function	
  being	
  performed.	
  Because	
  this	
  
manual	
  refers	
  to	
  these	
  modes	
  frequently,	
  it’s	
  worthwhile	
  to	
  review	
  what	
  they	
  are	
  and	
  what	
  they’re	
  used	
  for.	
  
Record	
  Mode	
  is	
  for	
  recording	
  video	
  or	
  still	
  photos	
  or	
  for	
  setting	
  up	
  the	
  recorder	
  prior	
  to	
  recording.	
  
Play	
  Mode	
  is	
  for	
  selecting	
  and	
  playing	
  back	
  video	
  clips	
  on	
  the	
  SDHC	
  card.	
  
Settings	
  Mode	
  is	
  for	
  reviewing	
  or	
  adjusting	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  settings.	
  
File	
  Transfer	
  Mode	
  is	
  for	
  uploading	
  files	
  to	
  a	
  computer	
  via	
  the	
  USB	
  port.	
  
Video	
  Edit	
  Mode	
  is	
  for	
  running	
  the	
  built-‐in	
  editing	
  functions.	
  
Other	
  than	
  knowing	
  that	
  they	
  exist,	
  the	
  important	
  thing	
  to	
  know	
  about	
  operating	
  modes	
  is	
  that	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  
can	
  operate	
  in	
  only	
  one	
  mode	
  at	
  a	
  time.	
  This	
  means	
  you	
  cannot	
  adjust	
  settings	
  while	
  recording	
  or	
  view	
  video	
  
clips	
  while	
  compiling	
  a	
  highlight	
  clip.
