Precautions for Use
A Dashcam is an auxiliary device that takes images and records them in a storage device in specific situations when a vehicle is driving or parking.
Please use it as a supplementary device to determine the circumstances of an accident. FINEDIGITAL Inc. is not liable for any damages arising from
an accident, and will not provide support for any consequences resulting from an accident. Please read and understand the following before using
the product.
If the recording file cannot be found:
•Recorded videos are deleted over time
Because it uses a storage device (Micro SD card) with a limited storage capacity, if the storage device exceeds the capacity during recording, the oldest videos will be deleted
sequentially.
•Sensitivity setting in the impact detection sensor
Depending on the impact detection sensitivity setting in the product (normal, sensitive, insensitive, etc.), if the impact intensity is less than the set value, the impact
image may not be stored in the event folder or the parking folder.
•Voltage setting for vehicle battery
When using the parking monitoring function, the Dashcam will continue to monitor the voltage of the vehicle’s battery to protect the vehicle battery, and if the voltage of
the vehicle battery drops to the voltage set in the Dashcam configuration, the power of the Dashcam will be automatically cut off and the Dashcam will stop operating.
How to deal with an accident
•In the event of an accident, turn off the Dashcam power and remove the Micro SD card. If you continue to use it without removing the Micro SD card, the recorded video
may be deleted over time. If it is difficult to remove the Micro SD card, you may turn off the power from the Dashcam.
•Please back up the accident video using your PC.
•Do not connect the removed Micro SD card to your smartphone. When connecting a Micro SD card to a smartphone, the recorded video may be lost due to the file
structure change by the smartphone.
How to clean and store
•If there is a foreign substance on the lens, wipe it clean with a soft cloth (cotton).
•To record high-quality images, please avoid touching the lens with your hands or contacting other objects.
•If there is a foreign substance in the terminal of the main body, do not take it out or remove it using a tool; please contact the A/S center for repair.
•If the product is not in use, please keep it indoors, separately from the vehicle.
•Be sure to disconnect the power before storing.
- Avoid humid environments and keep the product sealed as much as possible.
-Be sure to remove the memory card and keep it in order to maintain the memory card’s performance.
