1. Operation Conditions
• 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 files.
• 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 16GB to 256GB 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 fire, 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 off. 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
file system.
• Observe the storage and operation temperature conditions (see specifications).
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 film, the video quality decreases.
• Install the DVR in such a way as to get the maximum field 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.

• The built-in supercapacitor helps you finish 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,
terrain conditions and certain features of the car.
ATTENTION! NEOLINE is not responsible for any administrative penalties for
violation of the traffic rules by the device owner. The speed cameras and other
traffic 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
film 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 im-
age in proportion of 30% sky
/ 70% road.

11
Removal of DVR
Pull DVR at the bottom in a circle in a counterclockwise direction relative to the
back wall of the groove on the recorder case.
Anti-glare filter (CPL filter)
The anti-glare (CPL) filter is an optical filter to ensure there are no glares and reflec-
tions on the windshield to improve video quality.
When using a CPL filter, 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 filter until the reflection of a sheet of white paper on the DVR
screen is minimal.
At night, it is recommended to remove the CPL filter to achieve the best recording
result.
After adjusting the position of the CPL filter, remember the position of the guide line
on the outer ring of the filter to be sure the next time setting the correct position
takes less time.

installed in accordance with standards. The quality of character recogni-
tion is influenced by weather conditions, time of day, the correct location
of the character relative to an imaginary vertical line.

7. Troubleshooting
This section helps you to eliminate problems the device may have under
normal operation.

19
- Cannot take pictures/record video
Check if there is enough free space on the microSD card and if it is not blocked.
- Spontaneous stop at recording
Too many video files stored. Only use at least class 10 high-speed microSD cards
by proven manufacturers.
- “Wrong file” message appears when trying to view a photo/play a video file
File writing failure due to microSD card file system error. Format the microSD card.
- Blurred image
Check for dirt on the lens and the CPL filter. If there is any, wipe the lens with
a soft cloth before use (it is recommended to use special care products for the
optics in order not to damage the surface of the lens).
- Darkened image when taking pictures of the sky or water. Too much con-
trast in the scene may affect the exposure. Change the exposure in the settings
menu.
- Deadlock (no image/no key response)
Press the RESET button to reboot the device
