Charging
There are several ways to charge the camera which results in the blue light being illuminated.
If the blue light does not illuminate then the USB may not be seated properly. DO NOT FORCE
INTO THE BASE  . The camera may be on and in use or the camera may not be seated properly
in the charging base. Make sure to correctly place the camera into the charging base - the
front of the camera should be facing away from the USB port on the charging base. If the
blue light is not on, the camera is not charging. It takes approximately 4-6 hours for the
camera to fully charge.
NOTE: If the camera is on while charging and becomes unplugged from the power source (via
the docking station or USB port) the camera will power off.
Ways to charge
1. Use the outlet adaptor, USB cable and charging base to plug into an outlet
2. Use the outlet adaptor and USB cable only to plug into an outlet

3. Plug the USB cable directly into the computer
4. Use the charging base with the 12 volt adaptor while in the vehicle
IMPORTANT: if the camera is not used and charged on a consistent basis, the camera’s
battery will lose the ability to hold a charge. Batteries are not replaceable and not covered
under warranty. Please ensure to use and charge your camera often.

Opening Files On the Computer
1. Plug the camera into the computer via the USB cable. DO NOT FORCE THE USB INTO
THE CAMERA - IT SHOULD FIT EASILY. Forcing the USB into the camera may cause
damage to the port. Damage caused in this manner will not be covered under
warranty.
2. Once connected to the computer, the user will be prompted to enter their password
(see Playback for instructions for password entry).
Figure 5
3. After the password has been successfully entered, the camera screen will display a usb
connecting message

4. The computer should then recognize the camera as a ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’, or ‘G’ drive.
IMPORTANT: depending on your company’s firewall system, the camera may not be allowed
access to your system thus preventing the viewing of data. Please contact your IT personnel
to assist with this measure.
5. Once located (see figure 7), open the corresponding Drive. If the computer does not
recognize the camera - unplug the USB cable and plug back in.

6. DCIM and GPSPlayer folders will be shown and one file, OPERATIONDIARY.txt. Once
the .txt file is opened (not compatible with MAC), there will be a log accounting for the
use and operation of the camera via time & date and the nature of use of the camera

(ie; video recording, photo capture, and power on/off). This is important as it will
demonstrate when the camera has been in operation. If data is missing this file can be
checked to ensure that the data files match the time and operation of use.

camera to record. This means that data needs to be deleted.
The amount of storage remaining is displayed in the bottom right corner of the rear display
screen showing 58.0G/58.0G. This shows how much storage is left compared to how much
storage available.
Failure to delete files will result in the camera unable to record and important data may be
missed.
Failure to delete files which results in missed data being recorded will not be constituted as
a warranty issue or a failure of the product nor will RoadScan Canada Inc be held liable for
any data failed to be captured.

Camera Ports
The PBC10 only features USB port on the right side of the camera. Use this port to access
data on to the computer. There is no port for the addition of a mini camera at this time.
Figure 11
Reset
Should the unit freeze up (typically by pushing too many buttons at the same time - similar to
the ‘wheel of death’ on a computer), located in the HDMI port is a small reset button. Use an

object (a paper clip or similar) to push this button. The camera will then be reset. No files are
lost as files can only be deleted off a computer.
DASH CAM
The PBC10 can be used as a dash cam in your vehicle making it the most versatile camera in
the industry .
To attach the PBC10 docking station to your vehicle, locate the best suitable spot on the
dashboard to allow for best viewing position, clean the area of the dashboard to ensure
proper adhesion. For best adhesion, utilize 3M Dual Lock as it will provide the proper
securement required to ensure that your video is stabilized (velcro will not work).
Suggested: place both pieces of Dual Lock on the bottom of the charging base, then place the
charging base onto the dashboard. This will ensure that both pieces of Dual Lock are aligned
properly. Ensure that the PBC10 is aligned properly prior to pressing the Dual Lock onto the
dashboard firmly (with the USB port facing rearward).
Figure 12
Page 12
DASH CAM
Use the 12 volt adaptor (supplied), plug the USB into the USB port (DO NOT FORCE INTO
PLACE). Run the 12 volt adaptor cord to the 12 volt port in the vehicle. 12 volt ports are
located in different locations in vehicles and location should be referred to in the owner’s
manual for each vehicle. The 12 volt adaptor does have a 10 foot cord to allow the cord to be
run or hidden to the vehicle’s respective port. Please check with your vehicles manual for
reference to this option. RoadScan Canada Inc accepts no liability for any damage caused to
vehicles during this process of ‘running’ or hiding the 12 volt adaptor cord.

DO NOT CUT THE 12 VOLT ADAPTOR OFF AND RUN POWER DIRECTLY TO YOUR VEHICLE,
THIS WILL DESTROY THE CAMERA. RoadScan Canada Inc will not assume any liability
whatsoever for this if damage is done to your vehicle. Warranty is void in this circumstance.
OPERATION OF DASH CAM
The PBC10 may be in the record mode prior to placing the camera into the dock or
alternatively, the record button may be pushed once the camera is in the docking station.
The video button is a little harder to reach in this situation. To stop recording, hit the video
button a second time.
AT NO TIME SHOULD YOU OPERATE THE PBC10 WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ANY
DAMAGE CAUSED DURING THIS OPERATION WILL NOT BE ASSUMED BY RoadScan Canada
Inc. Please refer to your Provincial or State laws.
When in video mode, the PBC10 will capture video, speed and GPS location with the use of
Google Maps .
