Preparation
Compensation for recorded content
ACME will not be responsible in any case for any consequential or direct problems that will
lead to a loss of recorded or edited data. Furthermore ACME will not guarantee the content in
case the recording or saving is not working properly. The above limitations are as well valid in
case the unit has been repaired.
Do not remove the micro SD Card while recording or saving. Do not switch off or take out the
battery before the recording has been stopped or as long there is access to the memory,
indicated by a rotating circle.
Protect the unit from extreme temperatures. Stop recording at temperatures less than minus
10°C and higher than 60°C. Remove the camera from the windshield/sucking pad in case
extreme temperatures might be possible!
It is known that forged accumulators which remarkably look like the original product are
offered for the sale again and again. Some of these accumulators are not equipped with a
proper protection circuit which would satisfy the regulations of the prevailing safety
regulations. These accumulators can perhaps lead to fires or explosions. We assume no
liability for accidents, damages or failures which result from the use of a forged accumulator.
Please note that the camera is splashproof. A strong and durable suspension of
moisture harms the camera!
!!!The cam is not waterproof!!!
