Congratulations on your purchase of Gazer mobile
video recorder.
Please read this manual carefully, before using the
device.
Warnings
•Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
•Do not apply any chemicals when cleaning the
device. Only use soft cloth to clean the frame and
lens.
•Prevent the device from falling or being damaged
by other objects.
•
Do not use or store the device in cold or hot places.
- Storage temperature: from -20°C to +60°C
- Operation temperature: from -5°C to +55°C
•Make sure the device warms up before starting,
if it was exposed to the low temperature for too
long.
•Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
In case of damage, contact your dealer or service
center.
•The manufacturer is not responsible for any loss-
es or missed opportunities due to use of videos
and data obtained with the help of this MVR.
Warning

ENG
6
• Do not insert or remove the SD card when the de-
vice is on. This can lead to the MVR malfunction. Wait
for 30 seconds after MVR shutdown, make sure that
all the lights are off for at least 10 seconds, and
only then safely remove the memory card.
• Set the correct time and date before using the de-
vice. The MVR may not record in case these settings
were entered incorrectly.
• Use at least 0.5 seconds time interval while press-
ing control buttons, this guarantees proper function-
ing of the device.
• Do not turn off the power for at least 20 seconds
after the power supply cable is connected. This is nec-
essary to help the built-in battery function correctly.
•If after you have started the car (when the power
supply cable is connected to the MVR), the device
failed to switch to the recording mode automatically,
simply unplug the power supply cable for ten seconds
and then try again.
• Use the restart option (by pressing «RESET» but-
ton) in the following cases:
• power indicator is not on when the power supply
cable is connected;
• the device does not switch from the standby to
the recording or control mode;
• the device fails to function properly.
•Files protected from overwriting by G-sensor or
by pressing a corresponding button are recorded in
a loop with a 30% les limit. Check the free space
left on your memory card on a regular basis to pre-
vent data loss (this happens when the memory card
is full).
Warning!

•To connect the MVR power supply cable to the car,
use the car’s cigarette lighter socket power unit and a
USB cable with an angular mini USB connector for charg-
ing. Connect the power supply cable to the charger. The
angular mini USB connector must face the MVR.
•MVR switches to the recording mode automatically
when the power is on, pressing «REC/OK» manually
is not required. The recorder automatically shuts down,
saves the video and switches off when no power is sup-
plied for at least 5 seconds. Manual shutdown (before
you turn off the ignition) is not required.
•If necessary, you can manually turn off the MVR by
long pressing the «REC/OK» button. Use the same
button to turn it back on.
Usage
Note: Do not turn off the recorder manually if it is in
the recording mode (this may damage the last record-
ing). First stop the recording by short pressing the
«REC/OK» button and then turn off the device. The
MVR can operate independently for a certain period
of time. The time of ofine operation depends on the
condition and charge of the built in battery.
Recommendation: Use the recording mode with a
minimum video length (1 minute).
Is this case, the pauses between videos will be
minimal.

ENG
10
Usage
Recommendation: We recommend setting your
vehicle’s license plate number as a watermark. Avail-
ability of this information in the video clip will simplify
the analysis of a complicated road situation and serve
as an extra advantage later if you have to use the
recorded video as evidence in court.
•Sound recording mode is on by default. You can
switch this option on and off - just short press «UP»
button.
• The MVR has the function to protect les from over-
writing. This option is activated automatically when the
G-sensor turns on or if you manually press the «MODE/
RETURN» button. If this option has been activated, the
MVR protects the current video recording from overwrit-
ing. No more than 30% les can be protected this way
and overwriting still takes place within this folder.
•Gazer F122/F122g MVR has the function to display
user captions in the video. To set user captions, use the
menu item «STAMP».
•Gazer F122/F122g MVR supports external GPS mod-
ules. To use a GPS module, one must connect the power
supply cable to an external GPS antenna (optional) and
then select «ON» option in the «GPS» menu.

ENG
11
Usage
Warning! If you upload an alternative Speedcam
database, the current database will be completely
deleted from the MVR memory.
Note: Laws of some countries may restrict the use
of Speedcam database. Do not use this function if it
violates the laws of your country.
Save this le as gpsdb.txt in the root directory of your
memory card. The next time you turn on the MVR the
Speedcam database will be updated automatically.
IDX, X, Y, TYPE, SPEED, DirType, Direction
0, 12.300604, 45.452664, 106, 0, 0,0
1, 2.280041, 48.85029, 101, 40, 1, 161
txt
etc.
•When used with an optional GPS module, the MVR
supports the voice prompt function. You can also upload
an alternative Speedcam database of important points
and events on the route (e.g., location of speed cameras
or speed bumps). Whenever the vehicle approaches such
points, the MVR will automatically activate the alerting
system: voice prompts and graphical messages on the
screen. To upload your own database of such points, you
need to create the following text le:

ENG
12
Preparing Memory Card
If you use an unformatted memory card, the MVR may
fail to record or record incorrectly (long pauses between
videos). Formatting with SD Formatter reduces the du-
ration of pauses to a minimum.
Before using the MVR, it is important to format your
memory card using specialized tools. We recommend us-
ing a free SD Formatter utility. Use a search engine to
nd and download it from one of many Internet resourc-
es or from the web portal http://www.sdcard.org.
Formatting is necessary to optimize the memory card
access speed. The system formats the card in
accordance with SD Memory Card Format specica-
tion, which allows the MVR to access the card faster. This
cannot be done with regular Windows formatting tools.
SD Formatter also (by selecting option of Format Size
Adjustment=ON) creates an optimal le system struc-
ture (cluster size, etc.).

ENG
13
Preparing MVR
One must adjust the MVR settings before using the device.
The main settings are optimal by default (factory settings)
but in any case, you must set the exact time and date. This
is necessary for correct functioning in the recording mode
and further analysis of recorded video sequences.
1. Do not connect the MVR to the power supply yet. First
make sure that all the indicators are off and insert the
memory card.
The memory card is inserted with connectors towards
the display.
2. Connect the recorder’s power unit to the car’s cigarette
lighter socket and supply the power.
When you turn on the MVR, it automatically switches to
the recording mode. That is why you will see the real time
camera image at once (loop-through channel) and the re-
cording mode indicator will light up.
3. Press the «REC/OK» button to stop the recording rst,
if you want to go to the settings menu (the recording
mode will take some time to shut down as it is closing
and saving the current le) and then click the «MODE/
RETURN» button.
4. Use «UP» and «DOWN» buttons to navigate through
the menu, «REC/OK» to go to the submenu and select
the setting, and «MODE/RETURN» button to go back.
5. When you nish adjusting the settings, do not forget
to press the •REC to activate the recording mode.
6. Fix the MVR on the windshield and supply the power.
7. Use the long press «MODE/RETURN» button to
switch to the photo shooting mode and take a snap-
shot by pressing the «REC/OK» button.
