5. Trouble Shooting
PROBLEMS
SOLUTION
The view angle is
fixed.
You can adjust the lens up and down to
get the best view angle.
I can only record
a few minutes of
videos on my
memory card.
Change the recording size (Video
Length function) to a smaller size.
Increase the size of the MicroSD card.
Max 128GB.

PROBLEMS
SULUTION
The A1 is no
response.
Please reset the A1. (the reset needle is
in package)
Cannot remove
the SD card.
With the card previously installed, you
now need to push the card further
inwards slightly, using your finger nail,
until you hear and feel a small latch. Use
the edge of a small coin if you have
difficulty. Release pressure and the card
will spring out sufficiently for you to take
hold of it.
The SD card
cannot be read.
Use a good quality branded SD card
between 32GB and 128GB (Class 10 or
UHS type 1) and format the card within
the Setup menu.
When I press the
MENU button
nothing
happens.
This is normal during recording. Stop
the recording before pressing the
MENU button.
I want to change
the position of
A1 on the
windshield, but
the sticker has
run out
There is another sticker for replacing,
please find it in package.

PROBLEMS
SOLUTION
I take out the A1
from the kit
without
connecting to
power, and it
shut down after
25 mins.
The build-in battery can only support
20-30mins use time without external
battery. After you operating it, please
connect it to the cigarette lighter by car
charger.
Find the A1 a
little heated after
a period time of
use.
The camera has metal frame with good
thermal conductivity for extended life of
cam. The Operating temperature is
designed between -10℃ to 60℃, so
don’t worry, it is a common
phenomenon.
Cannot insert
the SD card
Please use the reset needle (in package)
to help insert or take out the SD card.
I can’t see full
size video on
dash cam screen.
Because the screen is only 3.16 inch, you
can only see the limited area of the
video on dash cam screen. Please see
the completed area on your cellphone
or PC.
Unresolved
issues.
Reset the A1 to the default settings
within the Setup Menu and try again.
