mins blocks.
When "off" is chosen, the videos recording will continue until the card
space is full. Once the memory is full a "card full" message will be
displayed on screen and recording will stop. Please be aware that the
maximum video file size is 4GB.

Recording on that the files are not all protected.
◆It tends to automatically shut down once a while after
being connected to the power supply
Please check whether the automatic shutdown function is started.
◆Camera stops recording occasionally
Because the data stream of high-definition video is huge, please use a
high-speed Class 6 microSD card that is compatible with SDHC.
◆GPS information can’t be displayed when watching the
video on the computer
Please check whether the GPS module is correctly installed. When the
icon occurs in the camera’s screen, it indicates that the GPS positioning

◆Power indicator doesn’t work
If the power supply is less than 600mA current, the camera can’t be
charged and the power indicator will not work.
◆Image has horizontal stripes interference
This is due to the wrong setting of “flicker”. Please adjust it depending on
the local power supply frequency, reset the Flicker: 50Hz/60Hz.
◆Camera doesn’t auto start recording when the car engine
is started
Please make sure that the loop recording is 1/3/5 minute(s), not OFF,
because it won’t auto start recording when loop recording is OFF;
additionally, please check if the microSD card is full, if yes you may try to
format the microSD card.
◆The camera continues automatic recording and won’t
stop
This perhaps because that the camera is working on Motion Detection
mode; you can check whether there is an icon on the screen. When
the Motion Detection is ON, it will auto start recording when a moving
object appears within the range of camera.
When the motion ceases, the recording will stop automatically until a
moving object appears again. It will not automatically shut down until
power goes off.
◆What to do if the camera has locked up and will not
respond to button presses
Remove the camera from the mount or turn off the power, then hold the
power button for 20 seconds, the camera will auto reset.
