TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE z Self-Guard shuts down its power for no reason. The Self-Guard automatically turns off the power or goes into the power-savings mode if you don’t press any button for a certain amount of time (1-9 minutes). This does not indicate malfunction of the system. In “RECORD” and “TRANSMIT” modes, Self-Guard turns off only the LCD, battery status LAMP, and recording status LAMP to save the battery.
This happens because Self-Guard records audio when there is a motion. If you want to record audio irrespective of motion detection, then turn on “AUDIO DET”. (“OPTION → “OTHERS” → “POWER SET” → “AUDIO DET”) This may result a large file size because Self-Guard will record audio regardless of motion detection from the camera when audio detection function is turned on. z I cannot make the Self-Guard to record. Set the Self-Guard to its default set.
