Inserng a MicroSD memory card
Before you can record
and store videos on
the Dashcam, insert a
MicroSD memory card
into the MicroSD slot as
shown in the picture on
the right.
The Dashcam supports MicroSD cards of up to 64GB
in capacity. To ensure smooth performance and plenty
of room for recording long journeys, we recommend
using a memory card that is rated class 4 or higher,
with at least 8GB in capacity.
Note: We do not guarantee compablity with MicroSD
cards from all manufacturers. Only use good quality
MicroSD cards from reliable sources.
Format the MicroSD card before using it with
the Dashcam. Formang ensures the MicroSD
card can record properly. To format the
MicroSD card on the Dashcam, go to Menu >
Sengs > Format SD Card.

Mounng the Dashcam
You can aach the Dashcam to your car’s
windshield with the included sucon cup mount.
Consider carefully where to aach the sucon cup
mount in your car. The mount should not block
your view of the road, interfere with the mirror or
controls, or obstruct the airbag.
1. Fit the included tripod mount into the sucon
cup base by rotang clockwise unl the tripod
mount is secured ghtly.
2. Remove the clear protecve lm from the
sucon cup.
3. Press the sucon cup against the windshield,
and then push the locking lever all the way
down towards the sucon cup to lock into place.
4. Slide the Dashcam onto the tripod mount.
5. Connect the Dashcam to power - see
“Connecng the Dashcam”.
When adjusng viewing angle, aim the
Dashcam slightly towards ground with less
sky in view. This helps reduce lens glare
when your car is facing the sun.

Connecng the Dashcam
You can power and charge the Dashcam using the
included USB cable and car charger.
Simply plug the car charger into your car’s power
outlet (or somemes called a cigaree lighter
socket in older vehicles), and then connect the car
charger to the Micro USB port on the side of the
Dashcam with the USB cable. Once you start the car
engine, the Dashcam will be powered and charged
automacally.
Note: The USB cable provided is a “charge only”
cable. If you want to transfer les from the Micro
SD card to your computer via a USB cable, you will
need to supply your own USB cable that is
capable of data transfer.
When the Dashcam is charging, the icon appears
at the top right of the screen. If the Dashcam is o,
the status light blinks orange to indicate that it’s
charging.
You can also charge the Dashcam by connecng
it to a USB port on your PC.
