GETTING STARTED
Please read and understand warnings & safety instructions before operating.
1. Memory card
Before turning ON the camera, please insert the memory card in Class10 U3 or above of the known
brand at maximum of 256GB. Please format the memory card before use.
(See Page 08 for details)
Note:
The memory card is a consumable item and has a certain service life (please refer to the
description of the memory card of relevant brand for the specific product life). If the machine
prompts that it cannot be formatted, the card is wrong, or frequently prompts to format,
please replace the card with a new one. To ensure better protection of your memory card
and machine, please format it regularly within 2 months.
2. First-time charging
Now plug in to the power. The camera will turn on automatically as soon as it receives the power
and then it will prompt you with the initial setup on the screen for the first-time use. Make sure
to keep your camera plugging into the power all the time because the internal battery is ONLY
for emergency recording during parking mode.
Note:
1. You can use your iPhone or Android phone’s USB charger and USB cable to plug your dash
cam into your 110V power outlet.
2. If you don’t get the initial setup prompts for any reason, you can set the camera to factory
default settings, then re-start the camera to start the initial setup again.
3. Recording
KINGSLIM D4 4K dash cam is programmed to turn ON and start recording automatically when
it receives power, and when the power gets disconnected, it will stop recording, save the last
video safely and then shut down within 2 seconds automatically.
02

4. Settings
Now, by default all the settings are pre-set in a way that you can just start using the camera.
However, you can customize it further by learning more about the camera by either watching
How to Video or reading the User Manual so you can get the maximum benefit out of it and the
best use experience.
5. Setting date & time
Please set the correct date and time based on your location under the TIME ZONE SETTING by
going to camera’s system settings menu. (See Page 23 for details)
6. How to hide power cable inside your car’s dash board?

your car. You can view one of the possible ways on the link (this video is NOT recorded by us).

13. Charging
1. Connect the USB power cable into the USB power port of D4 Dash Cam, then plug the car
charger into the cigarette lighter of your car.
Do NOT connect the camera to PC for charging. Instead use the 110V wall outlet.
The device will start up automatically and record as soon as power supplied, and the device will
save the last video file and power off automatically after cutting the power supply.
2. Turning your camera ON/OFF
Auto Power ON: KINGSLIM D4 is designed to turn ON automatically when it receives power,
i.e. when the car engine is started.
Auto Power OFF: The camera is also pre-configured to turn itself OFF automatically within few
seconds when the power gets disconnected, i.e. when the car key is turned to
LOCK position.
3. Note:
Some trucks/car’s 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provides constant
power even when the car is turned off and locked. If this is the case for your vehicle, the auto
ON/OFF feature will not work. And if you leave the camera continuously recording when the
car is turned off, the it will drain your car/truck’s battery and you might not have enough
power to start your car for next time. To remedy this situation, you can do one of the two
options:
① Hardwire your dash cam to your car’s fuse box with KINGSLIM 3 lead auto trigger
hardwire kit. Visit www.kingslim.net to purchase one separately.
② Change the connection in the fuse box for your 12V outlet socket which only supplies
power when car key is turned to ACC or ON position.

14. Hardwire kit (sold separately) installation guide
Notice:
1. We strongly suggest the professional installation of the hardwire kit. If you attempt to
install it by yourself, KINGSLIM will not take the responsibility or liability for any product
and vehicle damage or personal injuries due to improper operation during the process.
2. Make sure to turn off car’s engine before installing the hardwire kit.
3. Carefully utilize the tool to test and check the polarity and grounding before confirming
the installation.
4. For safety reason, we strongly recommend that you do not use any fuse slot for your
vehicle’s critical components, especially those for air bags.
1. Installation
① Connect the yellow wire with fuse taps.
Yellow wire (to constant fuse slot)
Red wire (to an ACC fuse slot)
Black wire (to a metal ground wire)
14

② Open the cover of fuse box and find a constant fuse slot. Remove the original fuse in the
constant fuse slot and install it into the bottom slots of the fuse tap.
③ Connect the fuse tap to the positive terminal of your constant fuse slot.
④ Connect the red wire of the hardwire kit to the positive terminal of the ACC fuse slot in the
fuse box. ACC fuse slot only has power when the ignition is on.

EN
⑤ Crimp the black wire and screw it down to any non-coated metal bolt/screw in your vehicle
to ground it.
⑥ Connect the USB connector of the hardwire kit to the USB input of your dash camera.
2. Low voltage protection
When the voltage detected by the hardwire kit is lower than 11.6V/23.5 (it varies depending on
your vehicle), the hardwire kit will automatically cut off the power after 60s.
Note:
Make sure that the camera’s view is not obstructed by any tint or any other objects. If your
vehicle has side curtain airbags, please be very careful when running any cables along your
vehicle windows. Ensure you are not running cable past any of the airbags as this can
prevent the airbags from deploying.
