Device and controls
Notes:
a) you have to use for recording high quality, fast writing card,
at least class 7 and of appropriate size. Determine which card
capacity best suits your needs before purchasing, a card with a
small capacity can quickly become full with standard recording
and locked files. We recommend at least 4 GB. The maximum
capacity supported is 64 GB. The recording can be affected
by the specified speed class, but also by an even speed
throughout the entire card memory.
b) despite maximum effort for compatibility, it is not possible
to guarantee the usability and functioning with all devices
available on the market. If a feature or recording on the card
does not meet your expectations, format the card in the
computer and then in the device. If this does not improve
functionality, use a different card, preferably a faster one.
NOTE: the inserted card uses technology sensitive to high
temperatures or thermal shocks. Avoid leaving the memory
cards in high temperatures (for example, behind the car window
in summer) and do not subject them to thermal shocks (e.g. in
winter). This could result in temporary or permanent damage to
recordings found in the memory.
2.2. Glass mount
Attach the device gently with the groove (“rail”) to the holder attached to the car
window or to another suitable smooth surface.
Installation of the bracket on the car window: Select a location to mount the
camera that does not block the driver's view. Remove the adhesive tape and apply
light pressure to the smooth, clean and degreased glass inside the car.
Slide the camera onto the mount (via rail).

Revision 11/2019Copyright © 2019, Fast ČR, a. s.
Device and controls
Perform several test recordings at various resolutions and camera positions to
ensure the end result meets your expectations.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force when handling and working with
the holder and camera, both parts are very light and do not have to be
mechanically stressed during operation.
2.3. Battery and charging instructions
Battery charging indicator:
Full Almost full Weak
Charging methods: car adapter, PC USB slot, external power adapter (sold
separately).
WARNING: use a 5V power source only, otherwise you can damage the
device.
Upon connecting the device to the car outlet and starting the ignition, the device
will switch on and begin to record once the key is set to “Accessories” and the
recording process is stopped when the key is removed from the ignition. The full
charging cycle of an empty battery lasts up to 180 minutes. The built-in battery
in the camera serves only as a bridging buffer for transition power supply states
and is not used for a longer operation of the camera without a connected power
supply.

2.4. Description of basic and special functions
• G-sensor
A sensor of extraordinary acceleration, such as an impact or crash, locks the
current file against automatic deletion. It can be set for 3 levels or turned
off. Try a suitable option to prevent the sensor from being activated, by e.g.
normal road bumps and not filling the card with unwanted, indelible files.
This would prevent any more recording.
• SOS function
While recording, press briefly the MENU button, the current file will be
locked, the display shows key symbol .
• Auto power on and off
When connecting the power, the camera turns on and starts recording
and ends recording and shuts down a few seconds after the power is
disconnected. Most cars have an on-board power outlet controlled by the
ignition key, so you do not need to operate the camera manually or handle
the power cable.
• Card formatting
It creates a file system on the card for efficient recording. Recommended for
any newly inserted card.
Notice: Formatting permanently deletes previous card content!
Tip: Because of the potentially extreme stress of the memory card
(vibration, temperature fluctuations, humidity), it is advisable to
occasionally check the integrity of the card's memory space, or reformat
it in the computer and then in the camera. We recommend that you
exclude cards showing errors from further use.

• Date & time
You can set the time and date manually in the menu.
Working with USB
In addition to power, the connector (9) is used to transfer data from the memory
card in the camera to the computer. However, not from the computer to the
card (erasing, formatting), perform the file management either with the camera
functions or by moving the card into the card reader on the computer. The
connected card is reported as another disk drive. The Mass Storage message lights
up on the camera display.
2.5. Start-up, warm-up
1. Charge the device away from the car, press and hold the On / Off button
(5s) for a long time and set it to suit your needs as described in this manual.
At the end of the initial procedure, switch the device off by holding down
the On/Off button (up to 3 s).
2. Install the camera and mount to a suitable place on the wind shield and
manually activate the camera connection to power supply for automatic
activation.
3. If you manually turn on the camera, turn it off manually when finished
recording (not necessary if you have automatic shutdown).
2.6. Operating modes and use
MODE button for mode select
1. Turn on the device by pressing On / Off, after the welcome screen an
operational screen appears with status icons and indicators. If the power
supply is connected (e.g. in the car), the camera will immediately begin to
record, in which case you can press REC/OK to stop the recording process.
2. Press the MODE button to switch between the Camera recording mode
(Camera) , taking photos (Photo) and Playback of previous
recordings. Action icons are displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

Note: if the screen is off in the Power saving mode, the first press of a button
turns it on, and only second press performs the desired action.
During recording, you can turn off/on the audio recording by pressing DOWN
(crossed-out microphone icon), press MENU to lock the file for storage. The device
settings cannot be adjusted during an active recording process. Size of files is
determined by loop length and resolution. For example 5 min 720P has 280 MB,
5 min 1080FHD has 600 MB. Shorter loops are recommended.
Parameter settings (MENU)
Press MENU once to navigate to mode setup, twice to access device settings.
Press again to exit both modes back to operating mode. The OK button is used to
confirm options, select UP/DOWN, confirm again and return by pressing OK.

(1720×1296, 30 fps)
• Loop: 1 min/5 min/10 min – the duration of each segment in a single file
before a new file is created.
• High Dynamic Range: Off/On – recording with higher dynamics in the
picture
• Exposure: -3...0...+3 – correction of light in the scene
• Motion detection: Off/On – the recording automatically turns on only when
there is a large move a scene (car movement), and stops for automatically
after about 1 minute.
• Audio recording: Off/On – audio from the cabin is recorded via integrated

• Time stamp: Off/On – the system date and time is recorded to the video if
this option is enabled. Do not forget to set the date and time!
• G-Sensor: Off/Low/Medium/High – based on the configured sensitivity, the
integrated acceleration sensor ensures the given file is locked against being
automatically deleted when a limit value is exceeded (shock, accident).
Check the sensitivity in your application to ensure it does not unnecessarily
mark files as locked even if it only concerns a common state (bumps on the
road, railway crossings, and similar). The sensor can also be disabled.
Parking mode
A special mode for creating a short 20s video recording in case your car is hit
while parked in order to capture the offender. This mode activates even when the
camera is turned off. The active parking mode symbolizes the letter “P” at the top
of the screen.
Activating parking mode:
1) Select Off to switch off the parking mode in the device menu.
Potential issues:
a) When the battery power is low, the camera will start, detects the low battery
and switches off again. Maintain the battery charged. If the camera is
connected to a power supply, the recording will not stop after 20 seconds.
b) The camera can start when you enter the car without immediately inserting
the key into the ignition. The key is inserted into the ignition only after 20 s
of recording and turning off the camera. The camera will finish the switch off
process and will not restart. Switch the camera on manually.
c) With the ignition on during an active recording process after a longer stop.
This is a conflict between the automatic internal deactivation and automatic
external activation.

Please read before contacting your dealer or repair centre.
• Photos and recordings cannot be taken.
Check the inserted card to determine it is functional and has enough free
capacity or that the card does not have an overwrite lock applied.
