Can I use a USB power extension cord?

    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.

    I am traveling /moving to Europe (or another country other than US ), can I use my Wristcam there?

    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).
