Using your recorder in a vehicle
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 G sensor of the device during start-up.
To avoid G sensor malfunction, always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the
vehicle properly.
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount
your recorder and rear camera into a vehicle.
1. Mount the recorder.

2. Mount the rear camera (for MiVue 698 Dual only).
Note:
Before sticking the mounting pad, you are recommended to clean the windscreen
with rubbing alcohol.
If the adhesion of the adhesive tape does not perform well, replace the tape with
a new one.
3. Adjust the lens angle.
When adjusting the angle of mounting, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel with
the level ground and the ground/sky ratio is close to 6/4.
