Usage

No, that may cause charging issues.

Please only use the Wristcam provided Power Adaptor directly plugged into the wall along with the Charging Cable.

• You may use a plug converter if residing outside the US or Canada. 
• You may also use Apple's original MFI certified Power Adaptor.

If you use a USB extension power cord or extension cord, like all other products, our product requires 5V (volt, i.e. Potential), and during power consumption at even 100mA (milli Amper) there will be potential drop and the device will NOT get the needed 5V.

This means you may have issues with charging the Wristcam, updating the Wristcam and downloading content if you use the power extension cord.

Please ensure your Wristcam has at least 60% battery to ensure the download can occur. When in doubt, please charge your Wristcam for 20 minutes or leave on the charger when performing the download. 

To see how much space you have left, you need to go check your Wristcam status from the settings tab in the Wristcam app on your iPhone. Please note, if the memory is full when you try to take a picture or record, a red light will blink twice.

When the Bluetooth connects after powering on or wakes from sleep, the led will pulse blue once , but if it is not connected it will pulse red.

When you take a picture you will see a white light on your led indicator and if you are recording a video it will show a continuous white light on your led indicator.

When your Wristcam is turned on or wakes from idle mode, the led light will blink green twice. You can also check your Wristcam status from the settings tab in the Wristcam app on your iPhone. 

If you are running low on battery you will see a red light blinking and a low battery notification will pop. 

While your Wristcam is charging, the red outward facing LED will show, when it's done the red led light will just turn off.

Wristcam product is tested and certified for use in the US and Canada. Before you travel, please check that country for its voltage and recommended voltage power convertors. You will need to purchase the appropriate voltage power convertor to avoid any issues which may include damage of the Wristcam core, power adaptor and charging cable.  We are not responsible for any damage caused by improperly charging the Wristcam and your product will not be covered under warranty. 
 
Please note, in general you cannot use electronic products certified for the US or Canada consumer in other countries without a voltage converter, because the standard voltage in other countries is often higher than in the United States of America (120 V).
