VII. Troubleshooting
Please refer to the following to solve the problems occurred during normal operation:
The screen prompts “mass storage” while being connected to
computer.
This is normal situation. The cam is now equal to a card reader which means that you
can now transfer the files from the machine to the computer.To avoid this situation,
you can use a phone plug to charge the cam.
Why does the cam automatically turns itself off after being
disconnected to power source? But this dash cam has built-in battery.
Some dash cams in the market do not have battery. Some have built-in battery which
however can only last several minutes. To use it to record long enough, the battery
has to be of large capacity which is impossible. So all dash cams have to be
connected to power source all the time to ensure normal use. This is why the battery
of this dash cam can only last several minutes.
The reason that the cam automatically turns itself off after being disconnected to
power source is due to system setting. Some drivers may forget to turn off the cam
after they leave the car. If there is no such setting that the cam turns itself off when
the car is off, the cam will soon run out of power. Some important files may be
damaged due to sudden Power failure.
Fail to record a photo or video
1.Check whether the space of TF card is enough or whether TF card is locked.
2. Format TF card on the machine.
It automatically stops during recording
Due to the huge data of HD video, please use high-speed Class10 TF card supported
by the machine. High-speed TF card has a C10 mark.
A message “file error”occurs during playback of photo and video.
The file is incomplete when an error occurs during data storage in TF card, please use
the “formatting”function to format TF card.

- 15 -
The images are blurry.
Please check whether there is dirt, fingerprint at the lens; please wipe the lens with
lens paper before shooting.
There are cross stripes in the image
When a wrong“frequency”is set, it may occur. Please set it as“50Hz”or“60Hz”
based on local power frequency.
Important note: A file can only be saved by the machine under normal recording
condition.
However, the file may be damaged or lost in the following situations
1. TF card is pulled out during recording. In this case, the last video may be damaged
or lost.
2. It is power off abnormally during recording. In this case, the last video may be
damaged or lost.
3. It suffers a destructive collision during recording. In this case, the last video may
be damaged or lost.
