Using your recorder in a vehicle
1. Make sure that your car is parked on a level ground.
2. Follow the instruction below to mount your recorder in a vehicle securely.
3. Connect the car charger to the
vehicle power plug. Route the
cables through the top ceiling
and the A-pillar so that it does
not interfere with driving. Ensure
the cable installation does not
interfere with the vehicle's airbags
or other safety features.

4. When adjusting the angle of mounting, make sure that the camera’s view is
parallel with the level ground, and you see the entire road on the screen.
5. When not using the recorder, follow the instruction below to remove the recorder
from the holder.
NOTE:
To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the recorder
near the rear view mirror.
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never
place the device where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic
and impact the GPS reception. In this instance, please mount your device
where there is a “clear area.”
The system will automatically calibrate the impact sensor of the device during
boot up. To avoid impact sensor malfunction, ALWAYS turn the device on after
you mount it in the vehicle properly.
