INSTALLATION continued
POWER
The CDR 895 D utilizes a Y-Splitter to offer maximum flexibility
and clean installation without dangling wires.
• Plug the Y-Splitter into the Micro USB Port on CAM 1.
• Connect the Micro USB end of the power cord into
the Y-Splitter. Connect the USB end of the power cord in the
Cigarette Lighter Adapter and then plug into your vehicle.
• Plug CAM 2 into the Y-Splitter. Use the Extender Cable
if necessary.
• Organize and tuck away cables to make sure that the driver’s
view is not obstructed. In most vehicles it’s possible to tuck
Y-Splitter and cables into the headliner and cleanly hide the
extender cable along the top wall all the way to the rear of the
vehicle. Professional installation is recommended.

CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING
When the MicroSD Card is full it will overwrite the
oldest clips to make room for new footage.
G-SENSOR
A built-in accelerometer senses sudden accelerations or
collisions and automatically protects footage surrounding
the incident so that it will not be overwritten by
Continuous Loop Recording.
PARKING MODE
Parking Mode provides security while your vehicle is parked.
If the dash cam doesn’t sense any motion for a set time the
screen will turn off and recording will stop. If motion is
detected or the G-Sensor is triggered, the camera will
automatically wake up and start recording again.
Pressing at any time will capture a still photo on both
CAM 1 and CAM 2.
Press to create an Emergency Recording. Emergency
Recordings apply to both CAM 1 and CAM 2 video files and
will not be overwritten by Continuous Loop Recording.
While recording, press Button 1 to toggle between viewing
modes. With CAM 2 connected, the options are CAM 1,
CAM 2, Split Screen, and Screen Off. Note that viewing mode
does not affect recording. Separate video files are created
for CAM 1 and CAM 2 regardless of your viewing mode.
