Getting Started
Your device can be powered two ways: from its internal
battery, which is charged via USB, or by connecting it to
your vehicle’s power source. If you choose to use the internal
battery, charge the device for at least 12 hours before rst use.
The battery icon on the LCD screen will slowly ll up while
the device is charging and appear solid when it reaches full
capacity. If using the vehicle power adaptor, the device will
automatically power on when it receives power through your
car.
This device records to standard SD cards with up to 64 GB
capacities. Make sure your card is formatted as FAT 16/32, the
standard Windows format. If you aren’t sure how to format an
SD card, it can be done on the device itself, or you can nd
instructions here on how to do so on a PC: http://www.ehow.
com/how_2112408_format-memory-card.html.
