Warning
long-term. Dust can eventually cause the coarsening of contact points and reduce, or even
completely prevent the product's resistance against dust. Always check the purity of the
device before the start of the season.
Check the case door seal and buttons at season's end, or at least once ayear, and have these
components replaced if necessary.
Do not use abrasive materials, chemicals or tools to clean the device. Use asoft, dry towel
only. Warm water can be used on non-electric accessories.
The battery is exposed to high mechanic load with respect to changing outdoor conditions.
Check the battery on occasion for changes to the shape and colour of the case, status and
oxidation of contacts. Battery wear and tear is demonstrated by lower capacity and shorter
operating time.
To store the battery for alonger period of time, charge the battery to full and remove it from
the device. This extends the battery life and allows you to better utilize its capacity.
Outdoor use
Prior to using the camera outdoors, prepare and put together the device and accessories
ahead of time in acalm manner and dry environment. Make sure the camera is capable of
recording scenes you are interested in and that your equipment and clothing are not in the
way. This prevents the need to make assembly adjustments and open the sealed camera
case in dust/sand, rain, gloves etc.
Remember that for outdoor use, the camera must be properly closed inside the outdoor
waterproof case.
Avoid battery contact contamination and short circuits when handling the battery. Use small
plastic bag when you remove the battery.

Introduction
Do not use the camera in water streams or hot thermal springs. After using the camera in salt
water, wash the closed case in fresh water and allow the salt to crystallize on the surface.
Open the case in aclean and dry environment, remove the camera and check the sealing
and buttons. If you find salt residue, wash the case in fresh water again and leave the case at
room temperature to fully dry, without the affects of warm air or heating. This preserves the
water-resistant functionality of the case for its next use.
The camera does not float. Prevent losing the camera in the water by attaching asuitable
strap.
Pay special attention to the cover glass lens and protect it against dust, dirt and scratches.
You will be rewarded by clean and sharp images.
Using the camera at lower temperatures
Battery performance is temporarily reduced at lower temperatures and increases again once
heated to room temperature. We recommend keeping the device in awarm environment, e.g.
inside clothing. Do not charge the battery at lower temperatures. The brightness and display
colour can change at zero degree temperatures. Moisture can condense or freeze at lower
temperatures, making it difficult or impossible to control the camera, especially around the
buttons. It can also lead to impaired image quality. Try to prevent condensation and freezing.
2. Introduction
This product is adigital device used to record high definition videos. It provides arange of
top-level functions such as digital video recording, camera, audio recording, video playback
and features aremovable battery, making it the ideal device for recording in your car, taking
pictures, outdoor sports, home security, water activities and others, so you can record video
any time and anywhere.

Introduction
Dashcam Outdoor sports Water sports Diving Home security
Based on the activity you plan to use the device for, you can assemble the holder to ensure
the entire viewing angle of the lens captures the entire scene. Remember that the camera has
awide angle lens and captures alarger scene than the human eye is capable of. In practice,
this effect is caused by straight lines of objects bending, also referred to as the fish eye effect.
Make atrial recording to see whether the camera captures the desired scene and that there
are no obstacles. Try to keep the holder length as short as possible during assembly. The
camera will not project outward that much, it will be less prone to damage by spontaneous
impact with another obstacle and it will also be exposed to less vibrations, transferred from
the mat. The result will be asmoother video recording. If you decide to assemble the holder
using adhesives, use the tape included in the package and carefully clean and degrease
the areas you plan to apply the tape. Look for position that is smooth and large enough to
correctly accommodate the holder. Prior to applying the tape, check to ensure it is clean and
intact and that the adhesive is not old (an older adhesive might not have the desired effect).
Purchase anew brand name and quality tape, if necessary.
