When connect ed t o t he 12v DCsocket (cigaret t e socket ) of your car, t he NAV-
502FHDi will turn on and off automatically when the car’s ignition is turned on or off.
If the NAV-502FHDi does not turn off immediately it means the device is complet ing
the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).
If the 12v socket is “ constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the NAV-
502FHDi will need to be turned on/off manually by the power button.
Whilst connect ed t o t he car’s12VDCsocket (or from a powered USB hub or PCUSB
port) theLED indicator will glow red (battery ischarging) and will be off once the
battery is fully charged.

Installation on the car windscreen
The NAV-502FHDI works best when mounted centrally and high up on the
windscreen (typically behind or close to the rear vision mirror). Use t he supplied
windscreen suction mount to affix the NAV-502FHDi to the windscreen and then

the chosen resolution settingsand the memorycapacityof the Micro SDcard). For examplea 2GBSDcar d at
HD resolut ion wi ll onl y of f er you 20 mi nut es of record time before the files (2 or 5 or 15min sizes) st art t o get
overwritten
- Sh o u l d y o u w i sh t o KEEP t h e v i d e o f o o t a g e o f a n i n c i d e n t f r o m n o t b e i n g o v e r w r i t t e n , st op t h e r e co r d i n g soon
af t er an i ncident has occur red (Ei t her pr ess “ OK” or disconnect t he power or r emove t he Micr o SD car d).
- Alt er nat el y use a l arger capacit y SD car d or l ower t he r ecording r esol ut i on (eg; a 32GB SD car d at VGA
resolution will offer you 640 minutesof record time) or otherwise use asecond Micro SDcard asa backup.
