● The recording features of this product are not affected by GPS signal reception.
● If this product is trying to acquire satellite signals for the first time, it may take longer than normal to
establish an initial position. If the unit is powered on and outdoors with a clear view of the sky, this
process should not take more than 5-10 minutes.
● If the vehicle is left non-operational for an extended period of time, the GPS memory data may have
been drained and will require at least 15 minutes of warming up to function properly.
● Atmospheric conditions such as rain and fog can cause the GPS signal to fail. Driving inside tunnels, in
between tall buildings, and highly populated areas can also interfere with and diminish GPS signal reception.
● If your vehicle has a protective UV coating on its windshield and has any electronic devices that
require sate-llite signals, it may prevent your GPS from operating properly.
● Depending on the location of the GPS receiver/antenna, temporary degradation in reception
performance is also possible. GPS reception rate may not be identical for all vehicles.

Power &
Shutting Down
● When the unit is powered on or the vehicle is started up, you will hear a voice message, “Hi,
this is UREC” and “Constant recording on.” This indicates the product is starting to record.
● A few moments after the unit is powered off or the engine is turned off, you will hear “Video
recording off” followed by “System is shutting down,” after which the product will turn off.
2.3 Safe Mode ● If UREC has prolonged exposure to high temperatures, it will automatically enter ‘safe mode’
to prevent overheating. Once surrounding temperatures are decreased, UREC will return to
normal operating mode.
2.4 Constant Mode
(Normal Recording)
● Normal recording begins with the introduction, “Constant recording on.” Video captures from
the Constant Recording mode are available in the “NORMAL” folder of the MicroSD Card root
directory.
● Constant recording video capture files are saved in the following format:
Video files in this mode are recorded and playable in 1-minute interval (Recording time may be shortened
when the Event Recording mode overrides).

Basic
Operations
2.5 Event Mode
(Impact Recording)
● When the accelerometer (G sensor) detects an unusual impact, video captures are saved in a
separate folder labeled “EVENT” in the MicroSD Card root directory.
● A chime will accompany files being saved under the Event Recording mode.
● When Event Recording mode begins, video captures in progress under Constant Recording
mode will end.
● Event recording video capture files are saved in the following format:
Each Event video capture file will be 12-13 seconds long (10 seconds before impact to 2-3 seconds after impact).
2.6 Parking Mode
(Auto-park Recording)
● If there are no changes to the G sensor for approximately 10 minutes, Constant Recording
mode switches to Parking Recording mode. Video captures in Parking Recording mode are saved
to a folder labeled “PARKING” in the MicroSD Card directory.
● Parking Recording mode video capture files are saved in the following format:
Video files in this mode are recorded and playable in 25-second interval (Recording time may be shortened
when the Event Recording mode overrides).

(User-defined
Recording)
● Manual recording is for recording some situation arbitrarily.
● Manual recording begins when the Camera button is pressed once. Manual Recording will begin
with the introduction, “Manual recording ON.” Files saved while in Manual Recording mode can be
found in a folder labeled “Manual” in the SD card.
● Manual Recording mode video capture files are saved in the following format:
Video files in this mode are recorded and playable in 20-second interval on average.
2.8 File Management
& Capacity
● If the allotted mode-specific memory capacity is exceeded, old files are deleted and replaced
with newly recorded videos.
● As recorded video files in the MicroSD Card may be deleted in a short period of time depending
upon its memory capacity, it is highly recommended to save important files in an external
storage device.
● File capacity for each recording mode based on 2-channel recording (and 1-channel):
