5. Installing the DVR
Installation on the windshield
- Choose the installation location in advance, as the adhesive tape on the mount
is of single use.
- Degrease the mounting location and warm it up to ensure strong adhesion.
- Install the magnet holder into the device and turn the DVR on. When evaluating
the display image, make sure that the horizontal is kept and the lens captures the
image symmetrically both on the left and right. Then remove the protective lm
from the surface of the adhesive tape and lean and press the mount against the
windshield.

10
Adjusting the viewing angle
ATTENTION! Adjusting the viewing angle can only be done along the vertical
line, so be sure to position the device correctly on the windshield along the
horizontal line as close as possible to the windshield’s center.
While pulling or pushing the device in the holder, ensure that the camera cap-
tures the image in proportion of 30% sky / 70% road.
Power connection
To power the device and charge the battery, use only the power adapter included.
Connect the power cable to the mount or DVR, then plug the charger plug into
the car’s cigarette lighter/socket.
When the car engine starts, the device turns on automatically.
Note.
For best view, the device
should be installed near
the rear-view mirror in
the center top of the
windshield.
Mount the lens so that the
recorder captures 30% sky
and 70% road.

11
Anti-glare lter (CPL lter)
The anti-glare (CPL) lter is an optical lter to ensure there are no glares and reec-
tions on the windshield to improve video quality.
When using a CPL lter, follow the instructions below for the best video results:
1. Install the DVR on the windshield in accordance with the
recommendations above.
2. Put a sheet of white paper on the dashboard
3. Rotate the CPL lter until the reection of a sheet of white paper
on the DVR screen is minimal.
At night, it is recommended to remove the CPL lter to achieve the best
recording result.
After adjusting the position of the CPL lter, remember the position of the guide
line on the outer ring of the lter to be sure the next time setting the correct
position takes less time.
6. Device operation
Device preparation
A. Insert the microSD card into the memory card slot.
Before installing a memory card, turn o the

vice and/or the memory card itself. Make sure the memory card is in the correct
position.
Warning: Do not apply excessive force when inserting a memory card to avoid
damage to the device. To insert a memory card, insert the microSD card into the slot
until it locks (clicks); if necessary, use a needle to push the card further. To remove the
memory card, push the card until it clicks and remove the card from the slot, if neces-
sary, use a needle to push the card.

from deletion.
4) Video recordings taken in Loop Recording mode are stored in the Driving folder.

Emergency recording
Emergency recording is to protect the current video le from being overwritten and
deleted. In order to protect the current video le,
press the Hot-key button; now the current video le is marked to prevent it from be-
ing deleted/overwritten. An icon appears on the screen.
Emergency recording is activated automatically when the G-sensor triggers (sudden
acceleration/deceleration), or at collision. Emergency recording is locked automati-
cally to avoid erasing during loop recording. The les protected from overwriting are
stored on the memory card in the Locked folder.
ATTENTION! Files in the Locked folder can occupy no more than ~30% of the memo-
ry card space (depending on the le size). Once the Locked folder is full, the device
starts a loop recording into the Locked folder. When the device is on, the display
shows the warning“Locked folder is full!”To avoid losing the necessary les, please,
transfer them from the memory card (for example, to a PC) in due time.
Night mode
