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.

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.
Note: 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.
