How to Set Up My Flip Ultra Camcorder
The Flip Ultra is a small, portable video camera helpful for on-the-go travel. It fits into almost any pocket and the palm of your hand. Although there is no internal memory, you are able to insert microSD memory cards, most of which hold several gigabytes' worth of data. Because there are few features available on the Flip Ultra, it takes only a moment to completely set up the camera.
Turn the Flip camera over. On the bottom of the camera you are going to find the battery compartment. Slide this compartment open to expose the battery insert.
Slide the three AAA batteries into the open compartment, then place the cover back onto the battery compartment. Depending on the Flip Ultra model you are using, it may come with a lithium battery pack. This battery also inserts into the bottom power slot (the camera comes provided with either the AAA batteries or the lithium battery pack, depending on the model). The pack comes completely charged, so there is no need to charge the battery when first setting up the camera.
Turn the Flip camera over onto its side. This is where the microSD card housing is located.
Slide the microSD card into the open slot. Once the card is in place, it locks down. To remove the card you must push the card in toward the camera.
Push the "Power" button on the Flip Ultra camcorder and you are ready to begin capturing audio and video.
How to Charge a Flip Camcorder
A Flip camcorder makes shooting and sharing video easy. Older Flip models ran off battery power, and when the batteries died, you'd need to replace them with fresh batteries. New Flip cameras can be charged. In the spirit of simplicity, you don't need any cords or additional tools. Everything you need is contained in the camera itself.
Slide the plastic button on the side of the camera. This will cause the USB attachment to release from the top of the camera.
Plug the USB attachment into a USB port on a computer. The camera will draw power from the computer.
Check the light on the USB attachment to see when the camcorder is fully charged. If it's blinking, the camera is still drawing power. If the light is stable, the camera is fully charged.
