Precaution：
Disconnection between car charger and cigarette lighter tends to occur due
to different cigarette lighter positions among different car models and the
vibration of the car during driving. This disconnection may lead to abnormal
power On/Off switching.
How to cope with it:：
Push the two grounding plates at the car charger’s connector outward
slightly; this can help to firm the connection.
Use Velcro strips to fix the car charger on the cigarette lighter.
In case of a cigarette lighter extension set is used to supply power for
multiple devices, please ensure it has sufficient power and enough
consumption current for multiple devices connected to it.
Otherwise, it may lead to malfunctions for devices connected to it e.g.
Driving Camcorder, navigators, and mobile phone.
To solve such problem, connect the Driving Camcorder directly to the
cigarette lighter or replace the extension set with one w higher amp value.
