Before Using the ThumbCam

The ThumbCam has a built-in lithium ion battery (the same sort of battery as most
mobile phones use, only smaller). We charge them up before we send them out –
however, due to time in transit, you'll need to top it up before using it.
To charge the ThumbCam:
1. Locate the mini-USB port on the base of the
2. Using the supplied USB-A to Mini-USB-A cable, attach the
spare USB port on your computer, or to a stand-alone USB charger.
3. Whilst charging, the both blue LED and the red LED will stay on.
4. The ThumbCam requires 3 ~ 4 hours to achieve a full charge. It is important,
particularly the first charge, to leave the ThumbCam charging for the full
duration - not doing so can have a negative impact on the performance of
the battery.
General Guidelines
These are just a couple of points to keep in mind whilst using the ThumbCam:
• Do not point the
sun, high-powered headlights or stadium lights. The bright light may damage the
image sensor, either leaving a permanent 'shadow' on your videos where the light
source has damaged the sensor, or rendering the sensor completely inoperable.
• Avoid adverse weather conditions. Excessive heat (direct or ambient) and
moisture (such as rain or humidity) will cause the ThumbCam to behave
erratically or not work at all. Acute exposure to these elements may permanently
damage the ThumbCam.
• Do not dispose of in fire. Lithium-ion batteries can, when exposed to significant
heat, explode quite dramatically.
• The small lens on the
environments.
• If the lens does become dirty, clean with cleaning alcohol and/or a specialized
lens cleaning cloth (these are available from all good camera stores).
• Follow proper disposal guidelines in your locality if you intend to dispose of
the ThumbCam. Many localities have strict guidelines as to the disposal of
electronic items, particularly those with built-on rechargeable batteries.
ThumbCam towards exceedingly bright light sources such as the
ThumbCam can be difficult to clean. Avoid dusty or dirty
