User Manual

Covert Mode
To toggle Covert Mode on or off, press and hold the Bookmark button for 5 seconds**.
Covert mode can be toggled during recording or standby, but not during sleep mode.
When Covert mode is activated, all of the status LEDs will be off, and beeps will be
suppressed. When Covert mode is deactivated, the status LEDs will illuminate and beeps will
no longer be suppressed*.
Checking Status during Covert operation
A quick press of the Mute button while in Covert mode, allows you to view Record,
Battery and Storage Status. Battery status will be shown for 1 second, then Storage
Used for 1 second. This procedure may also be used when Vantage is not in Covert
mode to view Storage Used.
*Note: Vantage’s status is indicated using LEDs, beep, and vibrate, subject to your
configuration. Note that regardless of the configuration, if Covert Mode is enabled, the LEDs
and beep indications will be suppressed.
**Note: Mute and Bookmark are user functions that can be disabled by an administrator,
making them unavailable to the user.

Vantage Quick-Reference Guide
Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing
the Eyewitness Vantage Officer-Worn Camera
from Kustom Signals. While Vantage offers a
number of configurable features, actual
operation is very simple. Once powered on,
there are only three controls available, and just
one, the prominent Record start/stop switch,
that will be used frequently. This guide should
provide everything you need to know to start
using the camera.
Note that two options for configuring the
cameras are available:
1) The camera has been shipped to you with the default configuration. (Defaults
are listed on page 4). Check with your administrator for making changes to the
configuration.
2) The second configuration option involves your agency pre-selecting the
desired configuration. If this was done, your Vantage will have shipped pre-
configured to your requirements.
Getting Started
1) Please charge your camera before the first use. A fully depleted standard
battery requires 2 ½ hours to fully charge and will provide 4 ½ -5 hours of
record time. The extended battery option requires 4 hours to charge and
provides up to 9 hours of record time.
2) Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators detailed in this guide.
3) Please refer to your Agency’s Administrator for the process you will use to
download files into your database and for information on the configuration
options.
