SHORTCUTS / FUNCTIONS
The camera comes with the default settings which allows you to start
using your camera right out of the box without changing any settings.
Make sure to format the memory card before first time use.
INSTALLATION
1First, turn OFF the car's engine.
Measure and decide the applicable installation area using the
dash cam’s view finder before you start installing the dash
cam. Look at the front + cabin camera’s video location by
temporarily holding the dash cam on the windshield and
make sure you like the installation spot of your choice before
proceeding. Most people installed their ROVE R3 next to the
rearview mirror and opposite side from the driver.
2
We strongly suggest that you use the included electrostatic film
before placing the sticky mount on your car's windshield. Electro-
static film is designed to give you a clean removal of your 3M sticky
mount. If you ever need to remove the 3M Mount, then you can
simply peel off the electrostatic film off the windshield for an easy
and clean removal.
Why use electrostatic film?
17
Now thoroughly clean the
applicable area using the
included cleaning pad and
let it air dry.
3
Now peel off the “Step 1” side of the electrostatic film & apply
the exposed static side to the windshield. Apply pressure to
the film, Use credit card to slide and remove any air bubbles
for the strong bond with the windshield.
4
NOTE:
When applying the electrostatic film on the car's windshield, avoid the car's
dot matrix pattern for the sun block. Once you apply “Step 1” side to the
windshield, before removing the “Step 2” side of the electrostatic film, ensure
all the bubbles are removed properly by using the credit card to slide them
out. NowdoNOT peel the back side of the electrostatic film yet. Wait until you
are ready to apply the 3M StickyMount in the middle of the electrostatic film.
Do NOT touch the area after cleaning, or finger grease will not allow the
electrostatic film to create a strong bond with your windshield.
CAUTION:
After you peel off the top film, do NOT touch the applicable side of the
electrostatic film with fingers to test it. It is charged with electric particles
to create static bond. No need to touch it to test how strong it is.
CAUTION:
Avoid this
dot-matrix pattern
as the electrostatic
film will NOT stick
properly over the
bumpy pattern.
18
USER MANUAL
Now, let's peel off the back side of the electrostatic film's cover,
doNOTtouchthe middle where you will be sticking the 3M
tape/ROVE R3 mount.
6
Now, let’s make sure the 3M Mount is fully secured and
locked in place. Make sure there is NO Gap (See photo below)
5
Attach the sticky mount to the front/main camera securely and ensure
that it doesn't have a gap in between (as seen in the photo above).
Otherwise, the camera will have a power supply (Rebooting) or NO GPS
signal issue.
IMPORTANT:
Right
Wrong
19
8Connect the 12FT USB Type-C Power Cable for front camera
into the sticky windshield mount.
Now, carefully peel off the RED side of the 3M film from the
mount side (and again, making sure NOTto touch theglue
with fingers).Then gently stick the front camera on the wind-
shield over the electrostatic film. Then use both hands to apply
even pressure to the camera from both sides for about 30
seconds. This should create a proper bond between 3M
Sticky-Mount & mount to windshield over the electrostatic
film, and adjust the view angle accordingly.
7
Please ensure the camera's field of view (lens) is NOT overlapping the
electrostatic film. otherwise, your video will look blurry.
IMPORTANT:
Apply pressure
toward the
windshield.
