/ Using the Mounts
LOCKING PLUG
If you are using HERO+ LCD in high-impact sports such as surfing
or skiing where significant impact might occur, use the locking plug
to securely lock the Mounting Buckle fingers into place. The locking
plug helps to prevent the housing from accidentally releasing from
the mount.
To Attach the Locking Plug:
1. Loop the circular ring over the thumbscrew. The circular ring
acts as a leash to prevent dropping or losing the locking plug.
2. Slide the Mounting Buckle into the mount until it clicks
into place.
3. Press the U-shaped part of the plug into the U-shaped space in
the Mounting Buckle.
WARNING: To avoid injury in the event of an accident, do not use
the locking plug or tether when using a mounting device on a
helmet or other personal protective gear.
/ Battery
Your HERO+ LCD camera, battery, and housing are integrated. You
cannot remove the camera from the housing, or remove the battery
from the camera.
The battery icon displayed in the camera status screen blinks
when the battery drops below 10%. If the battery reaches 0% while
recording, the camera saves the file and powers off.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
To maximize battery life, close the GoPro App. To maximize battery life
when shooting longer-duration activities, turn off the touch display.
Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize
battery life in cold conditions, keep the camera in a warm place prior
to use.
PRO TIP: QuikCapture helps maximize battery life. For details, see
QuikCapture (page 45).
CHARGING TIME
The battery charges to 80% in approximately one hour and 100% in
approximately two hours when using a USB charging adapter. Some
chargers might charge at a slower rate.
NOTICE: Only use USB charging adapters marked 5V 1A. If you do not
know the voltage and amperage of your charger, use the included USB
cable to charge the camera from your computer.
