Using your dash cam in a vehicle
Precautions and notices
lDo not operate the device while driving. Using this product does not change the
requirement for a driver to take full responsibility for his or her behavior. This
responsibility includes observing all trafc rules and regulations in order to avoid
accidents, personal injury or property damage.
lA window mount is needed when using the dash cam in a car. Make sure that
you place the dash cam in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s
view or deployment of airbags.
lMake sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reective material is
placed near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.
lIf the car’s windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact the recording
quality.
lTo ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam
near the rear view mirror.
lSelect an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place
the device where the driver’s eld of vision is blocked.
lIf the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reective coating, it may be athermic and
impact the GPS reception. In this instance, please mount your device where
there is a “clear area.”
lThe 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.

Mounting the dash cam
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to mount
your dash cam in a vehicle securely.
1. Before attaching the device mount to the windscreen, it is recommended to clean
the windscreen with rubbing alcohol and make sure that the installation area is
free of dust, oil and grease. Attach the mount to the windscreen ( 1), and press
the tab ( 2) to lock the suction cup in place.

2. 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.
3. Route the cable through the top ceiling and the
A-pillar so that it does not interfere with driving.
Make sure that the cable installation does not
interfere with the vehicle's airbags or other
safety features.
