When the record indicator indicates a red light when recording is in progress, the
MicroSD card may be full or damaged. Please check the MicroSD card.
Recording mode
Continuous recording
Connect the recorder to the car charger according to the installation instructions in the
previous “Using your recorder in a vehicle” section.
When you connect the car charger to the cigarette lighter in the car and then start the
car’s engine, the recorder will start continuous recording automatically.
For continuous recording, the recording will be divided into several temporary video clips;
recording will not stop between video clips. Each video clip is 70MB in size and may be
about 1~2 minutes long. These video clips are temporary recording files until they are
locked/saved by pressing the Menu key .
If continuous recording is ongoing and when the card has run out of memory, new
temporary video clips will replace the old ones.
To stop recording, press the OK/Record key .
