Micro SD card with 80mbs read speed to maximise the performance and
minimise download time of your video on to your computer. The UHWK
will take a maximum of a 32gb card, any larger and it won’t work.
Maximum video storage guide below at 1080Hd. Increases if shooting at
720p

8gb - 1.5 hours of recording
2.
16gb - 3 hours
3.
32gb - 6 Hours
•
Carefully slide the micro sd card into the micro sd card slot until the card
clicks into place. Note that the card is only designed to go in one way, so if
not sliding in do not force it. As a guide the micro sd card should be
inserted with the metal contacts facing the same way as the lens. You
need to push the card in past flush to have the spring mechanism secure
the card in place.

Changing Camera settings
•
Connect your UHWK to computer, find camera on computer and select
“SETTING.TXT” folder.
•
You can now customise:
o
Light exposure (higher exposure for darker settings, vice versa)
o
Light frequency (different countries have different compatible Hz)
o
Video quality (1080p or 720p)
o
Buzzer (turn on/off camera beep)
o
Audio (turn on/off ability to record audio)
•
Under “FORMAT” at the top, input the corresponding value to what you
want to change, for instance, if 1080p is preferred quality to capture
content change the value next to “VideoSwitch” to 0. To ensure the
appropriate change occurs, change “UPDATE” value from “N” to “Y” in the
second row of the “SETTING.TXT” box and then select File and Save
Battery Care
•
Only use the USB charger provided with the camera to protect the camera
and prolong life of the battery.
•
Do not to overcharge the battery. Typically the battery should take an
hour and half to charge from empty. It’s is not ideal leaving the camera
plugged in for long periods of time.
•
Typically you will get 1 hour 50 mins of record time when using 720p. This
will reduce slightly when using 1080
Troubleshooting
•
When camera is turned on you will hear two beeps and the hawk will light
in red. If your camera turns off soon after turning on, this suggests a
problem with the sd card or that the card is full. See below resolution
o
Memory card is full. To empty, ensure that all files on the card are
moved to the “Trash” or deleted and that the “Trash” is then
emptied
o
If above is not successful perform a reformat of the sd card (Note –
This will delete any saved video). Reformat guidance for Windows
and Mac can be found on the last 2 pages of this guide.
•
To charge, simply plug the USB cord into your UHWK and then connect to
a wall adapter or your computer and the hawk will illuminate blue. Once
fully charged, the blue light will turn off and no illumination will be
occurring
•
Should these simple fixes not work, find the “Reset” option next to the
charging port on the camera, select an item small enough to engage the
“Reset” button and depress for 10-15 seconds. Your UHWK should be
reset and ready to go!
