Warm Prompt
We recommend that you carefully read this manual before using the dash cam, then read
it again with the dash cam in your hands as this will help you to familiarize yourself with
its many features. The dash cam is constantly improved over time, so the specification of
the dash cam may change.
Please note that each button has multiple functions so please be careful which Buttons
you press in relation to each Mode / Function. There is no need to get frustrated because
you should only do this once in order to set it up in the way that you require.
1. Please ensure that the dash cam is SWITCHED OFF when you either insert or remove a
Micro TF Memory Card, in order to avoid damage.
2. Please ensure that the Micro TF Memory Card is inserted in the right way. If it is
inserted backwards, it might damage the dash cam and TF Memory Card.
3. If you incorrectly insert the Micro TF Memory Card the dash cam will try and read it and
set it as its default storage device, but will not be able to read it.
4. If the Micro TF Memory Card is not compatible with the dash cam, please DO
NOT insert it again, as you will damage the TF Memory Card and the dash cam. Please
buy the correct Micro TF Memory Card and then try again.
5. The dash cam supports the card from 8GB to the highest 128GB, Class 10 only.
6. Adjust the position of the lens to ensure that you correctly record what you want.
7. We recommend a 32 GB Class 10 Memory Card for this dash cam.

8. In video recording mode, if you want to press Menu / Mode button, please stop
recording videos first by pressing the REC button.
9. Please be careful and insert the TF Memory Card in the right way, do not force the
Micro Memory Card in the slot as that is an indicator of the wrong way, insert it until
the Micro TF Memory card clicks into place in the card slot.
10. Remove the Micro TF Memory Card. Please gently press down the Micro TF Memory
Card, by approximately 1mm until you hear the Micro TF Memory Card click, it will
then pop-up and can be removed.
11. Long press for 3 seconds the Power Button, then the screen lights up. The dash cam is
switched ON. Long press 3 seconds Power Button, then the dash cam is switched OFF.
12. When being charged, the LCD screen will show the charging icon, and stop flashing
when fully charged.
13. When using the built-in power, the dash cam will prompt low power and save the
document then turn off automatically if the power is not enough.
14. We recommend using default factory settings, once the MENU has been set, then
connect the car charger to the unit and put into the card. Once the car is started, the
unit will automatically start recording. Once the car turns off, the unit will
automatically stop recording. Please note that your vehicle’s Cigarette Lighter Sockets
do not have any power when the ignition is switched OFF.
15. All dash cam models must be continuously connected to either a 12 or 24 Volt power
supply via a 5V 1A Charger because a LCD colour screen consumes a considerable
amount of power. That is why mobile phone / dash cam screens automatically go

blank when not being used - to save power. A fully charged battery will only power the
screen for a few minutes. It must always be connected to a power supply via a 5V 1A
Charger.
16. If you turn the option of SCREEN SAVER ON, in video recording mode, when the
screen is switched Off, the dash cam is still recording. You can turn the screen on by
pressing any button.
17. If you want to watch your videos on a PC, we recommend that you carefully remove
the Micro TF Memory Card and insert it into a Card Reader either built into your
computer or purchased separately.
18. After several weeks of daily recording it may be necessary for you to format your
Micro TF Memory Card - if that is the case, please note that you will lose all of your
files, so please back up a copy on your computer first in a unique dash cam Folder that
you have created.
19. When your dash cam crashes / screen goes black, the phenomenon may be caused by
improper operation, crash, please press the R = Reset button, hole by the top corner,
gently with a cocktail stick. Just like you would do for a computer, printer, phone, etc.
20. Please format TF card in the device firstly if you use new TF card in the first time, then
you can use.
21. Please note the endurance of your memory card. TLC NAND micro SD cards can
overwrite itself 500 times before experiencing failures. If the micro SD card is broken,
the dash cam will not work properly. We recommend using a MLC NAND card which
can overwrite itself 1500 to 3000 times.

Connect the car charger’s jack to the USB charging port, and then plug the charger into
the car cigarette lighter or 12V DC power outlet.
•Battery is mainly used to save files in emergency. Please always connect dash cam to

To turn on the device again, you will need to do so manually by pressing the ON /
OFF button.
•If the battery is completely discharged, the device will not turn on immediately when
the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before

charge the battery.

Inserting the memory card
Your device accepts memory cards with a maximum capacity of 128GB (FAT32 or exFAT
format only, 64GB / 128GB cards should be formatted in the dash cam before use) .
Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some cards may not be
compatible with your device. Using an incompatible card may damage the device or the
memory card, or corrupt the data stored on it.
Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up as shown in the image below.
•Insert memory card with the gold-colored contacts facing you.
•Push the memory card into the slot until it locks in place.
•Click sound when memory card locks in place.
•Using a coin or other tools to push the memory card in will make it easier.
It is recommended that you reformat a memory card after every time that images are
transferred from it to a computer, or at least once a month.
Reformatting a memory card keeps important elements of data and file structure clean,
helping to prevent error messages and missing images. Reformatting also restores the
memory card, which can help prevent it from becoming corrupted.
