Description
The above picture shows the arrangement of the user operating features.
The Quick Start Guide assumes standard settings. More detailed instructions including advanced
features such as Webcam mode, configuration and fault finding can be found in the Mobius Instruction
Manual which can be downloaded from http://www.mytempfiles.info/mobius/index.html
Before you start
Before using the camera for the first time, ensure that it is fully charged.
• Connect one end of the supplied standard USB cable to the camera.
• Connect the other end to a USB, 5V DC power source (wall charger, PC or external battery).
• When the Yellow LED turns on, briefly press the Power Button to turn the camera OFF.
• Wait until the green LED turns OFF. This can take up to 2.5 hours if the battery is fully discharged.
A new, fully charged battery will last about 80 minutes.
Turn on Camera
Power-On can be configured as "fast" or "delayed". The following instructions assume the Power-On is
configured as "fast" (standard setting)
• Ensure you have a Micro SDHC or Micro SDXC card inserted in the camera.
• ► Referring to the picture above, insert the SD card upside-down into the SD Card slot with the
gold contacts at the top and pointing forward.
• Briefly press the Power Button.
• The blue LED will turn on for a second.
• The blue LED will turn off and the firmware will start to load.
• After about 3 seconds the yellow LED will turn on indicating the camera is ready in Video Mode 1.
• ► With the standard settings, you must start a recording within 30 seconds. Otherwise, the camera
will automatically turn off.
Select the recording Mode (optional)
The Mode button enables the camera to be sequentially switched between 4 different modes. Each
button press advances to the next mode indicated by the LED color.
• Video Mode 1 (yellow LED). Standard configuration is 1080p video with 30 fps and large AOV with
non-rotated video.
• Video Mode 2 (blue LED). Standard configuration is 720p video with 60 fps and small AOV with
non-rotated video.

Playback mode. Playback mode is only available when the A/V cable is attached and is described in the
Mobius Instruction Manual.
Turn off Camera
Press and hold the Power Button for about half a second and then release it. The red LED will blink 3
times and the camera will turn off.

• The battery is charging. The green LED may only be visible when the other LEDs are off.
The rear LED
When the camera is turned on, the rear LED will blink one to three times to indicate the battery charge.
Three blinks indicate a full battery, whereas one blink indicates the battery charge is getting low.
Connecting the camera to the PC
Make sure the camera is turned OFF if you want to access the camera as an external device (disk drive,
setup). Always connect the camera directly to the PC. Do not use a USB hub.
