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.

Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to mount
your dash cam in a vehicle securely.
1. Mount the dash cam.
2. Mount the rear camera (optional).
Note:
lBefore sticking the mounting pad, it is recommended to clean the windscreen with rubbing
alcohol.
lIf 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.
4. Connect the cables.
Route the cables 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.
If you only use the dash cam (without connecting the rear camera) in your
vehicle, simply connect the car charger to the dash cam and then plug it to the
cigarette lighter.
The installation illustrations are for your reference only. The placement of the
devices and cables may vary depending on the vehicle model. If you encounter
any problems during installation, contact a skilled installer (such as the service
personnel of the vehicle) for assistance.

Turning the dash cam on
