8Recording Scenario
①Recording of an impact event in the driving mode
A buffer video of 10 seconds will be included in the video when an impact event occurs in the driving mode.
If the power supply is cut off immediately after an impact event while driving, the event recording at the end may
not be performed normally. In this case, you can refer to the normal recording of the same timeline.
②Recording of multiple impact events in the driving mode
If another event occurs during impact event recording, the second event can be processed 10 seconds after
occurrence of the first impact event.
After the first impact event file is saved, the second one is saved.
If the second impact event happens after or at the same time with the completion of the first impact event, the
recording of the second impact event will start 10 seconds before the completion of the first impact event.
Once an event happens and a new file is created, the second event will not be recognized for 10 seconds after
occurrence of the first event.
▶Driving Mode
This refers to the recording while the vehicle is parked with ACC off.
Motion event is not recognized within 10 seconds after switching to the parking mode. The product can sense a
motion 10 seconds later.
▶Parking Mode
①Recording of an impact event in the parking mode
A buffer video of 10 seconds will be included in the video when an impact event occurs in the parking mode.
②Recording of multiple impact events in the parking mode
If another event occurs during impact event recording, the second event can be processed 10 seconds after
occurrence of the first impact event. After the first impact event file is saved, the second one is saved.
If the second impact event happens after or at the same time with the completion of the first impact event,
the recording of the second impact event will start 10 seconds before the completion of the first impact event.
Once an event happens and a new file is created, the second event will not be recognized for 10 seconds after
occurrence of the first event.
③Recording of a motion event in the parking mode
A buffer video of 10 seconds will be included in the video when a motion event occurs in the parking mode.
④Recording of multiple motion events in the parking mode
If another motion event occurs during motion event recording, the second event can be processed 10 seconds
after occurrence of the first motion event. After the first motion event file is saved, the second one is saved.
If the second motion event happens after or at the same time with the completion of the first motion event,
the recording of the second motion event will start 10 seconds before the completion of the first motion
event.
⑤Recording overlap of a motion event and an impact event in the parking mode
If an impact event occurs together with a motion event, recording of both events will overlap during the
parking mode.
A buffer video of 10 seconds will be included in the impact event video when an impact event occurs during
motion recording. (This is the same even when a motion event occurs during impact recording.)
If another event occurs during the overlap of an impact event and a motion event, the product follows the
scenario for recording of multiple events for the corresponding event type.
▶Switching the Mode
①Driving mode > Parking mode
Automatic switching: If ACC is cut off in the normal recording mode, the product enters the parking mode
10 seconds later.
②Parking mode > Driving mode
Automatic switching: If ACC power is high, the product automatically switches to the driving mode.
9Channel Switching Scenario
▶Scenario for Switching between 1-Channel and 2-Channel
Automatic Recording
If the rear camera is removed when the product is set to 2 channels, the 2-channel recording
continues and the rear screen shows black frames.
The rear connection alarm sounds once and repeats every 10 seconds. This can be stopped by
changing the rear connection or the channel settings.
At this time, the recording may be stopped for 1 - 3 seconds.

▶Power Management
11 Low Voltage Cut-off
You can set the constant power cut-off voltage to Disable (11V) or 11.4 - 12.2 (23.1 - 24.3) V on the Viewer.
If an event occurs (and the event file is saved) with the voltage remaining below the cut-off limit and if the
voltage does not rise above the cut-off limit for 30 seconds or more, this product is turned off.
The constant power cut-off function is not enabled in the driving mode. It is enabled only in the parking mode.

12 High Temperature Cut-off
The temperature cut-off function is used to protect the product from high temperature.
The high temperature cut-off function is not enabled in the normal mode.
The temperature cut-off function is enabled only if the "Use temperature cut-off" option is set to "Yes" in the
black box viewer.
If the product stops operation due to high temperature, recording stops and the product turns off.
The cut-off temperature is based on the temperature outside the product (inside the vehicle) and is 76±5℃.
The temperature detected by the internal temperature sensor is 110℃. (Room temperature 71 - 75℃)
If the temperature cut-off function is activated, recording and motion detection stop, and the front/rear LEDs
turn off with a voice message "Turning off".

20 Using the Smartphone App
▶Home Screen
1) Version: Displays the version of the app.
2) Reset the password : Resets the WLAN password saved in your phone (not the black box password) to 00000000.
(This function is supported only in an Android phone and not in an iPhone.)
※ When the black box is reset in the factory, the black box WLAN password is set to 00000000.
※ Changing the password using the smartphone app will change both the smartphone and black box passwords.
If the passwords saved in your smartphone and black box do not match, you need to reset the black box to the factory
default and reset the password in the smartphone for synchronization.
※ Since iPhone does not save the black box password, it does not have the "Reset the password" button.
3) START : Connects the black box to WLAN.
※ If the connection is carried out successfully, the black box rings once and sets the system time of your phone to the
black box time, and the screen changes to the menu screen.
※ Since an iPhone starts the app after connecting to WLAN manually, iPhone does not display the connection screen and
the list of connected access points (AP) and goes to the main menu screen directly.
1) Connect instantly if a recently connected black box AP is displayed.
2) If a recently connected black box is not found and if there are two or more black boxes available for
connection, the list of black boxes appears so that you can choose one.
3) If the connection screen does not move to the next step, connect to WLAN directly from the WLAN settings
of your phone.
