This documentation is subject to copyright protection.

Any copying or reproduction, including extracts thereof, and the reproduction of

images (even in a modiﬁed state), is permitted only with the written authorisation

of the manufacturer.

Intended use

This cockpit recorder is an information electronics device designed to record

digital photos and videos in motor vehicles, particularly while on the road. It is

not intended for any other use. This device is not intended for use in commercial

or industrial environments. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for dam-

age caused by failure to observe these instructions, improper use, incompetent

repairs, making unauthorised modiﬁcations or for using unapproved replacement

parts. The risk shall be borne solely by the user.

ous situation.

If the hazardous situation is not avoided, it could result in death or serious

physical injury.

► Follow the instructions in this warning to prevent a fatality or serious

personal injury.

CR 5 A1

WARNING

A warning at this hazard level indicates a potentially hazard-

ous situation.

Failure to avoid this hazardous situation could result in physical injury.

► Follow the instructions in this warning to prevent physical injury.

CAUTION

A warning at this hazard level indicates potential material

damage.

Failure to avoid this situation could result in material damage.

► Follow the instructions in this warning to prevent material damage.

NOTE

► A note indicates additional information that eases device handling.

Safety

In this section, you will receive important safety advice relating to device handling.

The device complies with the statutory safety regulations.

Improper use may result in personal injury and material damage.

Basic safety guidelines

To ensure safe handling of the device, follow the safety guidelines set out below:

■ Prior to use, check the device for visible, external damage. Do not operate an

device that has been damaged or dropped.

■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced by an author-

ised specialist or customer service.

■ All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by the

Customer Service department. Failure to make proper repairs can put the

user at risk. Warranty entitlement will also lapse.

■ Defective components must always be replaced with original replacement

parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can only be guaranteed by

using these replacement parts.

■ Never open the device, and never carry out any repairs yourself.

■ Protect the device from moisture, spray and dripping water and penetration

by liquids.

IB_47583_CR5A1_LB3.indb 3 24.04.14 09:18

4CR 5 A1

■ Never subject the device to extreme heat or humidity. This applies especially to

storage in a car. If the car is stationary for long periods and the weather is

warm and sunny, temperatures of more than 40°C can arise in the car interior

and the glove compartment. Remove electrical and electronic devices from

the vehicle.

■ When ﬁtting the cradle, ensure that it does not interfere with the steering,

braking or the operation of other vehicle systems (such as airbags) and does

not restrict your ﬁeld of view when driving.

DANGER

Do not place the car cradle in or near the expansion area of the airbag, since

the cradle could be ﬂung through the vehicle interior in the event of airbag

deployment and cause serious injuries.

WARNING

The camera should not be mounted in such a way that you or other passengers

could be hit by the camera in the event of an accident. This could cause serious

injury.

■ People who, due to their physical, intellectual, motor or sensory capabilities,

are incapable of operating the device safely may only use the device under

the supervision or direction of a responsible person.

DANGER

Packaging materials must be kept out of the reach of children and should not

be used as playthings. Risk of suﬀocation.

■ Do not allow children to use the device unless they are being supervised.

Children are not always able to correctly recognise potential dangers.

■ Do not place any objects on the device.

■ Do not operate the device close to open ﬂames (e.g. candles).

■ If you notice a burning smell or smoke coming from your device, disconnect

it from the power supply immediately.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should the smoke be inhaled as this could be harmful

to your health.

■ Check regularly to ensure that the suction cup is securely attached to the

windscreen. This is especially important in areas where extreme outside

temperature ﬂuctuations occur.

■ All of the applicable laws in your location must be observed. The use of a

cockpit camera is banned in some countries and may constitute a criminal

oﬀence. The camera should not be operated while driving. Traﬃc safety must

ALWAYS take priority whilst driving. Use this device only if it is not like to

lead to any hazard during driving situations.

IB_47583_CR5A1_LB3.indb 4 24.04.14 09:18

CR 5 A1

■ The device contains a lithium-ion battery. Therefore, the device must not be

thrown into the ﬁre. There is a risk of explosion!

■ Do not exert any pressure on the display. If it should break, touching the

sharp edges could cause injury.

Possible infringements of the rights of third parties

Please note the following when using the cockpit camera:

In principle, everyone has the right to pictures of themselves. According to copy-

right law, pictures of people may only be published without their permission if the

aﬀected person appears merely as an incidental feature in a landscape or other

location. The question as to whether a person is merely an incidental feature

must be ascertained on a case by case basis.

Protection of privacy

The privacy of others may not be infringed by any recorded images. Do not set up

the camera pointing at the garden or an entrance of a neighbouring residence,

even if these locations are easily visible from your own vehicle or from public

places. This does not a constitute a right to publish these views.

Personal determinability

Personal determinability exists when it can be established that a certain person

was at a certain location at a certain time. This identiﬁcation can be made by

means of an identiﬁer related to a speciﬁc person, e.g. a car number plate.

Personal determinability of persons is to be avoided.

Surveillance cameras at the workplace

Surveillance at the workplace is subject to particularly strict legislation in Germany.

Employers should not use surveillance cameras in the workplace in any cases

where this could lead to a possible infringement of legal rights.

The respective legal requirements of the country in which the camera is being used

should always be observed to avoid possible infringements of the rights of third

parties. Due to the possible violation of third party rights, it is illegal to publish

recordings featuring strangers or vehicle license plates without authorisation,

e.g. on the Internet. The recordings may only be used for providing evidence in

the event of an accident.
