• Please read the terms of the warranty service.
• Never insert or remove a memory card while the DVR is on. It may cause dam-
age to the device, memory card and recorded video les.
• Use only high-quality microSD cards of at least Class 10 providing for the UHS-I
communication to avoid recording failures and playback delays.
• It is recommended to use 8GB to 128GB memory cards.
• This device shall only be used with the accessories supplied. Where third-party
accessories are used, Neoline bears no responsibility for any damage to the
product.
• Do not expose the product to re, moisture or chemicals (gasoline, solvent,
reagents, etc.).
• Do not disassemble or modify the product.
• Neoline is not responsible for any data loss and/or direct or indirect damage
caused to the user or a third party by incorrect use of the device or software,
their incorrect installation, or the use of accessories not included in the package.
• ATTENTION! In some cars, the power is supplied to the 12/24V socket even
when the ignition is o. It is recommended to disconnect the device from the
vehicle network to avoid the battery discharging.
• Format the microSD card at least once every two months to avoid damage to its
le system.
• Observe the storage and operation temperature conditions (see specications).
Do not expose the unit to sunlight for too long.
• The device is designed to be used in cars with a transparent windshield or light-
tone heat shield for glass. Where the windshield is tinted or covered with dark
heat shield lm, the video quality decreases.
• Install the DVR in such a way as to get the maximum eld of view. DO NOT place
the DVR in a place where it can block the view and compromise your safe driving.
Neoline and its authorized partners ARE NOT responsible for any damage or data
loss due to improper installation of the holder.
1. Operation Conditions

4
• The built-in supercapacitor helps you nish your recording correctly.
Normal operation of the device requires an external power source.
• In accordance with local law, do not manipulate the device while driving to be
sure you are driving safe.
• Before using the device, set the correct date and time.
• Heating of the case during operation is normal.
• Handle the device with due care; avoid dropping/crushing the device.
• The DVR may operate incorrectly where there are thermal or heated wind-
shields because of their metal coating. The coating may compromise detection
of broadband signals and correct operation of the GPS module.
• The satellite search time may increase due to the weather, time of the day, ter-
rain conditions and certain features of the car.
ATTENTION! NEOLINE is not responsible for any administrative penalties for
violation of the trac rules by the device owner. The speed cameras and other
trac rules reporting are only to provide safer driving.
The manufacturer reserves the right to change the equipment list, hardware and
software of the device without prior notice.
It is assumed that you agree with the provisions above before you start using the
system.

5. DVR Installation
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 side. Then remove the protective
lm from the surface of the adhesive tape and lean and press the mount against
the windshield.
ATTENTION! The device only operates when installed into the mount
properly.

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 centre.
While pulling or pushing the device in the holder, ensure that the camera
captures the image in proportion of 30% sky / 70% road.
Power connection
To power the device and charge the battery, use only the power adapter includ-
ed. Connect the power cable to the mount or DVR, and 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 centre
top of the windshield. To get
the best record, ensure that
the camera captures the
image in proportion of 30%
sky / 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ections 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.

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 being deleted/overwritten. An icon
appears on the screen.
Emergency recording is activated automatically when the G-sensor triggers (sudden

cally to avoid erasing during loop recording. The les protected from overwriting are
stored on the memory card in Locked folder.
ATTENTION! Files in the Locked folder can occupy no more than ~30% of the
memory 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.

Notication of nearby trac cameras
ATTENTION! NEOLINE is not responsible for any administrative penalties for
violation of the trac rules by the device owner. The speed cameras and other
trac rules reporting are only to provide safer driving.
This DVR can notify you of trac control cameras. Depending on your individual
settings, the following information is displayed on the screen:
- radar/camera type;
- radar/camera distance;
- speed allowed at the road section;
- your car average speed and distance to the section leaving point (when
detecting average speed control cameras).
When approaching a camera/radar, the DVR reports its type and allowed speed.
For example, “Average speed control = 50”means you are approaching the
camera recording the travel time for further calculation of the average speed,
and the speed limit on this section is 50 kmph.
Authorized speed Type of a police
radar or camera
Distance to the police
radar point
Current speed

Average Speed Control Cameras
Average speed control cameras are located on ~500m to 10km road sections.
The average speed is calculated based on the travel time and the leaving time
recorded when the car passes the rst and the second camera correspondingly.
ATTENTION! Speed control systems are constantly upgraded. When
approaching the average speed control camera, do not exceed the allowed
speed, as some cameras can record your actual speed as well.
