This feature will turn your LCD off completely or off after 1 or
3 minutes but will continue to record regardless. This feature
is useful for night driving as having the LCD on could be a
distraction or illegal.

by determining the gravitational acceleration (1g = 9.8
meters/second^2). When this function activates, the Dash
Cam will take 3 minute locked video file. You can set the
sensitivity of the Gravity sensor in the Dash Cam. Sensitivity
is Level 0 (less sensitive) to Level 4 (sensitive). We
recommend this be set to Level 0-1 to help stop false or
irrelevant readings.

This feature allows you to format/delete all the files off your
micro SD card and also reinstalls your DCIM directory and
Dash Cam software on your SD card so the micro SD card

Maintenance
Maintaining the Battery:
To prolong the battery life you must charge your Dash Cam
on a 5 volt home charger at least once a week for 2-3 hours
with the Dash Cam off. If you don't use the car daily, for cars
that are used daily for more than 1 hour you can charge the
Dash cam once every 3 weeks for 2-3 hours.
It is not recommended to power the Dash Cam with only the
battery. The battery will only run for 10-15 mins
continuously, always use the charger provided. The internal
battery is for backing up, time/date and saving data.
Formatting Card:
It is advisable to format the Micro SD card weekly if you
have the setting G-sensor mode setting active, all footage
that is locked in G-sensor mode will fill up the card causing
it to stop recording any more footage. Everytime you remove
& re-insert the Micro SD card, it will prompt you to format the
card. The Dash Cam will not automatically record once
turned on until it’s formatted.
Resetting Dash Cam:
Insert a fine point paper clip into reset hole on the side of the
unit.
