Chosen Solution

I have one of the earliest flip camcorders. It works great, however when inserting new batteries recently, the change date screen came up. I inadvertently closed the screen before entering current info. Mfg. Pure Digital Technologies Model: F160B Holding power button in for 10 seconds does not work No tripod mount, thus no reset hole Holding the power button on while pushing the up arrow does not work Removing batteries for any amount of time does not work. Nothing on the internet for a F160B or just a flip 60 seems to work. Date is stuck in 2006 This happened long ago, I fixed it, but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide

So I’m pulling the batteries, and will let it sit for a very long while. Hopefully any onboard batterey will discharge. We’ll see. Hawk

Try this:

  1. Power off the camera
  2. Turn on the camera
  3. When the logo appears, hold the record button, and “Set Language” should appear This should allow you to go through the original configuration routine.
