2. Description and control of the unit

1) MicroSD memory card slot

- Inserting the card: insert the card carefully into the unit while it’s POWERED

OFF in the correct direction as shown on the unit (with the label facing the

screen, the gold-plated contact areas pointing forward and inside the unit, and

the card body recession pointing downward). Insert the card e.g. with your nail

about 1mm under the surface until your hear a slight clicking sound of the lock

mechanism. When released, the card be seated in place.

- Ejecting the card: Press the card e.g. with your nail about 1 mm under the

surface until your hear a slight clicking sound of the lock mechanism. Hold the

card as it is released, otherwise it will pop out sharply.

CAUTION: the inserted card uses technology sensitive to high temperatures,

resp. thermal shocks. Therefore, avoid leaving these memories in high-

temperature environments (such as behind a car window in summer) and/or

exposing them to temperature surges (such as in winter). This could lead to

temporary or permanent damage to the memory stored contents.

EN 5

Notes:

a) for recording it is necessary to use a quality card with fast writing, at least

class 10 and a suitable size. Try the size of the card for your use in advance,

a small card can soon be filled with regular recording and locked files. We

recommend to use at least 16GB, but no more than 64GB. The recording

may be affected not only by the specified speed class, but also by the speed

uniformity within the entire card memory range.

b) despite the utmost compatibility efforts, the usability and undisturbed

operation with all commercially available memory devices cannot be

guaranteed. If the card function or record contents does not meet your

expectations, format the card in your PC, then also in this unit. If the card

malfunction persists, please use other card and a faster one, if possible.

2.1. Glass mount

Insert the unit carefully with this groove (“rail”) all the way into the mount on car

glass or other suitable smooth surface. Installing the mount on the car glass (if soft

transparent foil is attached to the piston, remove the foil before installation):

Release the mount’s soft piston (move the lift lever away from the piston). Choose

a place with a camera view that does not obstruct the driver's view. Place the soft

piston on smooth, clean and degreased glass surface inside the car cab. Move

the lift lever all the way up to the mount body. The soft piston will thus create

underpressure to hold both mount and camera firmly in place.

Insert the camera on the mount (in the groove). Loosen the joint locking nut slightly

and adjust the camera in the desired direction. Then tighten the nut slightly.

Also, make a couple of test recordings with different resolutions and camera

positions to match the result to your expectation. When OK, tighten the camera joint

locking nut slightly.

CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when handling and working with the

mount and the camera. Both parts are very lightweight and are not exposed

to any mechanical stress during operation.

2.2. Battery and charging instructions

the unit.

EN 7

When connected to the car ignition key, the unit turns on and starts recording when

the key is turned to the “Accessories” position, and stops recording and turns off

when the ignition key is turned off. When the battery is charged and only the unit

operation is active, the red charging indicator will go out. The entire charging process

of a fully discharged battery takes up to 180 minutes. The camera built-in battery

serves only as a buffer to bridge transient power states and does not prolong the

camera operation with no power connected.

2.3. USB modes

When connecting with a USB cable to a PC and turning on the device, in addition

to charging, a menu with a selection of 3 options will appear. Please select one of

the following:

Parking mode

This is a special mode for creating a short 15s video recording in the event of hitting

your stationary car in order to capture the perpetrator. With the camera powered off.

Active parking mode is indicated by the camera icon at the top right of the screen.

To enable the parking mode, proceed as follows:

1) In the unit menu, select On (OK). To disable the parking mode, select Off.

Possible problems:

a) When the battery power is low, the camera will turn on, detect low power, and

turn off again. Keep the camera battery charged. If the camera is connected to

the power, recording will not end after 15s.

b) The camera may turn on when you enter the car, but you don’t set the ignition

key in the ON position immediately after this. You set the ignition key to the ON

position only around the 15s recording interval while the camera is powering off.

The camera will complete the powering off procedure and will not be powered

on again. Turn on the camera manually.

c) When the ignition key is set to the ON position during the recording interval in

case of a longer stop. This is a conflict between the automatic internal powering

off and external powering on.

3. Troubleshooting

Please read this before reaching out to your dealer or service.

• Photos or recordings cannot be taken.

Check if the inserted card is functional, contains enough free space and is not

write-protected.

• The recording stops spontaneously.

Check the inserted card for integrity, format it in the unit or use another, faster

card if possible. If the file system limit has been reached, please reduce the

portions the recording is split into.

• “File error” message appears during video playback or picture viewing. The file is

corrupted due to a media error. Try to format the card or replace it for a new one.

• Blurred image

Check the lens for contamination and if necessary, clean it with soft wipes

suitable e.g. for glasses.

• The photo colours are not faithful even under daylight.

Check the white balance in Settings.

• Stripe patterns in picture

The scene contains light with 50Hz or 60Hz frequency (according to your power

grid). To compensate the stripe patterns, change the frequency in Settings.

• The unit’s SW has stopped.

Press Reset to restart the unit.
