1. Getting Started: Basic Functions
a) First, charge the KSC52’s internal battery: With both KSC52 slide switches (Power and Remote) in the
OFF position, connect the KSC52 to an active USB port on a PC (or use the wall charger). The PC must
be powered up for the USB port to be active. The LED light on the KSC52 will light Red, indicating the
internal battery is charging. When the Red light goes out, the battery is fully charged. Out of the box, it
will take a few hours to charge.
b) Next, get familiar with the KSC52 in its basic (stand-alone) mode. There are two ways to use it; stand-
alone, or with remote control. Refer to the diagrams on the cover page of this document. Note that the
camera lens is in the small movable plastic cap on top, on the same side as the pocket clip (back side).
This is so that when the KSC52 is placed into a shirt pocket, placing the clip on the outside of the shirt
points the lens toward the subject, as shown below:

c) Once the KSC52 battery is charged, try a few sample videos. The KSC52 is designed to capture video of
a person (average height) from the waist up, standing at normal “interview” distance (about six
feet)from you, with the KSC52 placed into your shirt pocket, and with the movable plastic lens holder in
a vertical position. In order to do that the lens is angled slightly upward in its holder. That means if the
subject is much farther from you, or you want to capture video of an area as you walk through, you may
have to tilt the plastic forward slightly forward to bring the camera lens down. It takes some practice to
get a feel for this, so we recommend you spend some time just trying a few different things. Do a series
of very short video captures (30 seconds or so) then review them so you can see what works best for
you.
To turn on the KSC52, make sure the Remote slide switch is off, then move the Power slide switch to
the on position. After a few seconds the LED will start flashing green to indicate the unit is recording.
To stop recording, move the Power switch to the off position. After about 5 seconds the green LED will
stop flashing and the LED will flash Blue once. That means recording has been stopped and the file has
been saved. Now it’s time to connect the KSC52 to your PC to upload the video files.
