rivets.
Ensure that the front panel of the HVR remains accessible
and there is a minimum 2.5 inches of clearance for cables..
Do not install the DVR in an area of the vehicle cabin that
could interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
Security Cover
After connecting all needed cables to the rear of the HVR
as shown in the Main Wiring Diagram, secure the Security
Cover with the included screws as shown in the diagram.

SD Card Removal / Insertion
Do not force the SD card into the slot upside down or
backwards.
Ensure the SD card’s write protection slider is in the
“unlocked” position.
Do not remove the SD card until the DVR is turned off.
1. Insert the key into the faceplate lock and turn it
counter-clockwise.
2. Release the faceplate latch.
3. Open the faceplate.
Opening the faceplate automatically turns the HVR off.
4. Wait until the HVR has completely powered down
(PWR status LED has turned off).
5. Flip open the SD card slot door.
6. Insert an SD card into the SD card slot label-side up,
with the notch to the right, until it clicks in place.
To remove the SD card, press the SD card as far as it will
go in the slot, then allow it to “spring” out.
