ADDITIONAL FEATURES

LOOPING FUNCTION

Your Fly6[v] is designed as a ‘set and forget’ cycling accessory – all you should need to do is charge it when necessary. As such, the footage is continuously recording onto the microSD card until there is no space left, then it records over the oldest footage until there is no space left and then repeats the process. This way, you never have to worry whether anything is being captured – it just is!
The looping function cannot be turned off. This is to ensure that you do not forget to record your ride. If you want to keep all of your ride footage without looping over it, you will have to get a greater capacity microSD card (up to 32Gb is compatible – this should give you up to 8 hours of recording capacity before the looping function kicks in). Alternatively you can remove the microSD card when the capacity is reached and replace with a new microSD card.

INCIDENT PROTECTION FUNCTION

We understand that incidents happen from time to time – hopefully they never happen to you. Fly6[v] has been designed to save footage from major incidents without being recorded over.
This works when the bicycle (Fly6[v]) is tilted more than 60 degrees (or 30 degrees from the ground) for more than 5 seconds. In this event, Fly6[v] will trigger a program that will shut down your Fly6[v] after one hour. When using the supplied 8Gb microSD card, the recorded footage will contain one hour prior to the event and one hour post the event (subject to the device not being damaged).
If your Fly6[v] tilts over 60 degrees for more than 5 seconds and you don’t want the incident protection program to work, do one of two things:
- Turn off, then turn on your device and use normally; or
- When the 3 long beeps sound (indicating your device is shutting down) you should turn your device back on and use normally
