1.GPS shows a position where it is at least 15m different from the correct position.
Due to the characteristics of radio waves, the GPS may show more than 100m difference or be out of
range depending on weather and/or circumstances.
2.When using this product for the first time or not using for an extended period of time,
it may take time to obtain the current position.
It may take 5 ~ 30 minutes.
3.Optimum operation temperature range is from 0℃ to 50℃.
Since temperature inside a vehicle may be extremely high or low in midsummer or midwinter, make
sure to maintain the temperature inside a vehicle to be the same as ambient temperature to prevent
malfunction of the GPS.
4.Glass which could block radio waves, such as UV reflective glass, dark colored light
shields may cause poor reception of the GPS.
Do not install the product around these shields.
11 12
6.When a vehicle is moved to another position while the GPS wave cannot be received,
it will take longer to obtain the current position.
7.Speed and distance are calculated by GPS signal. The measured values may be different
from the actual values due to the condition of the reception.
8.Recorded images are saved as files named from the date recorded. When images were
recorded while the GPS wave cannot be received, the file name may not reflect the cor-
rect recorded date.
5.Other devices that generate electromagnetic wave may cause poor reception of the GPS.
When using this product with a remote controlled engine starter, security system, digital audio system,
GPS navigation system and/or another device utilizing GPS system, radio wave interference may
occur, and reception of GPS wave may be unstable or very poor.

CONSTANT POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Connecting the Constant Power Supply Unit to the main unit can supply the constant power to the
unit so it can be used as a security camera while the vehicle is parked.
Protection circuit for the car battery is equipped; therefore, this Constant Power Supply Unit can be
used safely without the battery's overload for an extended period of time. The power is automatically
off when the battery voltage falls below 12V (or 24V)more than 3 minutes. When the battery voltage
exceed 12.3V (24.5V), the power supply to the DMR is resumed.
When using this Constant Power Supply Unit, the provided Power Cable cannot be used together.
For a 24V vehicle, always use the Constant Power Supply Unit instead of the Power Cable.
1.When using the DMR as a security camera without starting the engine for an extended
period of time, the car battery may run out depending on conditions of a vehicle and/or
battery or the consumption of current power by other electrical devices.
Make sure to turn off the power of the DMR when a vehicle will be parked more than 3 days.
2.Select the proper input voltage for a vehicle the DMR is installed.
Indicates risk of serious injury or property damage.

1.Turn On the Power
2.Start Recording
(1)Make sure the Power Cable is plugged in the DMR main unit properly, and the SD Memory Card
is inserted properly.
(2)Start the engine. The power of the DMR is turned on automatically.
(3)After the power is on, a blue LED and purple LED start blinking, and the unit is started up.
1)Constant Recording Mode
After initialization, recording begins. Recoded data are filed and split into 3 minute blocks. When
a shock/impact is detected during recording, the position is recorded to the G-sensor graph in
the view.
When the unit start-up is completed, the unit beeps 5 times (when warning beeping sound is on.).
When "1Channel" is selected for the Video setting, a red LED comes on. "2Channel" is selected,
a purple LED comes on. During recording, the LED on the left side of the main unit blinks at 1.5
seconds interval. If this LED does not blink, there must be a system error. Turn of the power, and
reboot the unit.
IF the SD memory card is not inserted or write-protected, the unit beeps, and a blue LED and
purple LED blink. Insert a SD memory card, or release the write protection to stop beeping and
blinking.
Under this constant recording mode, a shock or impact can be detected, but the image cannot
be recorded in addition to the image originally recorded.
35 36
2)Shock Sensing Mode
When shock/impact is detected over the preset level, the image can be recorded a set time before
and after. This time can be set as either 10 seconds or 15 seconds under "1Channel" setting
("2Channel" is 10 seconds). Default setting: 10 seconds before and after the impact.
3)Emergency Record
When set in Shock Sensing mode, pushing the button on the DMR will allow events before and
after to be recorded. The time of recording is the same as set in Shock Sensing mode.
5.Ejecting the SD Memory Card
The procedure below must be followed when ejecting the SD memory card to view the recorded
images.
3.Reception of GPS Signal
When the GPS signal is received properly, the GPS LED (Blue)on the right side of the main unit
blinks. It may take a few minutes to several minutes.
4.Stop Recording
Stop driving, and shut off the engine. The recorded images are saved in a few second.
The unit beeps 3 times (When beeping sound is set to on.)and ends recording.
Do not eject the SD memory card before turning off the power of the unit. It may damage the
recorded images.
A.Stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.
B.LED comes off after the unit beeps 3 times (when warning beeping sound is set to on)
to complete recording.
C.Eject the SD memory card after all LED are turned off.
When using the Constant Power Supply unit, make sure the power of the main unit and the
Constant Power Supply Unit are off before ejecting the SD memory card to prevent damage to
the recorded images.
When images were recorded while the GPS wave cannot be received, (especially at beginning)
the file name may not reflect the correct recorded date.
