CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER
The M1 can connect to a computer via the micro USB port located on the back of the unit. A micro USB to USB
Type A cable is included for your convenience.
Alternatively, you can remove the micro SD Card and plug it directly into a computer (may require an adapter -
not included).
Most video players available on your computer will allow you to playback, edit, and save video files. For
example, Microsoft® Windows Media Player™ and Apple® Quick Time™.
