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.
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.

3. 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. 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.

You must insert a memory card (not supplied) before you can start recording. The
dash cam supports the Class 10 memory cards with 8 GB – 128 GB capacity. You
should use separate MicroSD cards for recording and for regular data storage.
Hold the card (MicroSD) by the edges and gently insert it into
the slot as shown in the illustration.
To remove a card, gently push the top edge of the card inwards
to release it and pull it out of the slot.
Formatting a card
To format a memory card (all data will be erased), press > Format.
Turning the dash cam on
Complete the installation according to the instructions in the “Using your dash cam
in a vehicle” section. Once the vehicle engine is started, the dash cam automatically
turns on.
Note: Press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds to manually turn the dash cam on and off.
Shutting down the dash cam
Occasionally, you may need to perform a hardware reset when the dash cam stops
responding or if it appears to be “frozen” or unresponsive. To turn off the dash cam,
press and hold the Power button until the system shuts down.
If the system does not turn off by keeping the Power button pressed, you can force
it to shut down by inserting a small rod (such as a straightened paper clip) into the
Shutdown button of the device.
