【Camera Components】
A. Magnetic lens cap
B. Camera lens
C. Battery
D. Tripod head
E. Tripod
F. Power button
G. Display screen
H. Lidar mirror
I. Tripod mount socket
J. Battery compartment

【Setup】
1. Adjust the tripod height to 4.5 feet (1.37 meters).
2. Screw the tripod head onto the center post of the tripod base.
3. Remove the Pro3 from its case. Gently lift the camera using the red ribbon.
4. Insert the battery. Place the camera on its side on a flat surface. Align the battery with the pins in the battery slot and snap it into place. Do not force the battery; if you feel you need to use a lot of force, stop and ensure it is aligned correctly.
5. Open the clips on the side of the tripod head. Align the mounting jack at the bottom of the camera with the top of the tripod head and snap it on. Close the side clips to secure the camera and keep it stable.
- The camera's axis of rotation is aligned with the lens, not the center of the camera. This unique profile is designed for optimal capture, and proper mounting ensures stability and security.
6. Power on. Press and hold the power button below the display screen on the back of the camera (for approximately 2 seconds).
- Remove the magnetic lens cap. The camera display screen shows the Matterport logo, indicating that it is booting up and warming up.
【Pairing Phone and Camera】
1. Download the Matterport app for your iOS or Android device to start using Pro3.
2. Confirm camera ready status. Once startup is complete, the "Ready to Pair" symbol will appear on the camera screen.
3. Enable Bluetooth. Ensure Bluetooth is turned on in your device settings.
4. Open the Matterport app, open "Existing Jobs" or start a new job by tapping the "+ New Job" button. Then, tap the source selector button and select Matterport Pro3 to connect to the camera.
5. Check the connection. Once the camera and device are connected, the "Connected" symbol will appear on the Pro3 display screen, along with the "Ready to Scan" symbol.

【Maintenance】
-
Handling the Camera
The Matterport Pro3 Camera is sensitive and carefully calibrated. Always transport it in a padded carrying case or storage box and handle it with care. If traveling by air, we recommend keeping the camera in your carry-on luggage.
-
Lens Care
Treat the Pro3 Camera lens like a DSLR camera lens. To remove fingerprints, use a camera lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Always dust the lens first, then apply the cleaner to the cloth (not directly to the lens). The rotating mirror requires the same care.
-
Storage and Temperature
Do not use or store the Pro3 in very high temperatures. Battery performance will degrade, and battery life will be shortened. The camera should be stored at room temperature with the battery removed.
【Safety Precautions】
Stability
Always ensure proper operation of the camera on a flat and stable surface. If the Pro3 tips over, it could cause personal injury or damage to the camera.
General Use
 | Do not disassemble or dismantle the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the camera. Only use Matterport-recommended equipment and accessories, and follow the setup instructions in this guide. |
Rotating Mirror
 | The rotating mirror spins at high speed during and for a short time after scanning. To protect your personal safety and avoid damaging the Pro3, please keep hands, hair, or any other objects at a safe distance from the rotating mirror assembly while it is spinning. |
