Introduction
1. Important
Please read these instructions carefully in order to use guideo™ properly and safely.
▶NEVER dismantle, repair or alter the product. his can cause malfunctions and
serious damage not only to the product but also to the vehicle.
▶Keep guideo™ dry when cleaning the vehicle interior. Water can damage the electronic circuits and
cause fire or electric shock. Avoid contact with chemicals and
detergents, which can damage the surface of guideo™ and the internal circuits.
▶Avoid mechanical shock, which can damage the mechanical and
electronic components, resulting in permanent damage and functional deterioration.
▶guideo™ cannot function correctly with obstacles in its field of vision. Make sure that the
windshield glass in front of it is clean. Similarly, make sure that there are no objects near the
device, since their shadows may interfere with performance.
▶Even though guideo™ operates correctly when first installed, there may be performance
degradation if the position deviates from original setting. Please ensure that guideo™ is
firmly fixed and not exposed to external shock.
▶Regular driving on uneven surfaces may shift the position of guideo™ and this may cause poor
operation. Please check from time to time that guideo™ is correctly positioned and angled.

Introduction
1. Important
◈
◈◈
◈Always concentrate on your driving and be very careful when operating the remote control.
◈Do not use the remote control or press any button on the camera while driving.
◈
◈◈
◈Keep the remote control in a safe place. guideo™ cannot be operated without it.
◈
◈◈
◈Please keep guideo ™ away from moisture, salt and oil, which can damage the device
inside and outside. Be careful of external forces, because pressure and shock
can cause the device to deviate its original position and activate functions unintentionally.
◈guideo™ is not designed for use on snowbound roads or in heavy rain or fog. Lane Alert and
Optilane may not operate as intended in these situations, and may send erroneous messages.
◈guideo™ is a camera-based product, and its performance is influenced by adverse light
conditions, as in case of abrupt change (entering or exiting a tunnel), in case of low light (at night
without street lighting) and in case of strong direct light in the mid-afternoon. Use with caution in
these conditions.
◈On roads with strong shadows or where lines are partly erased, guideo™, like the driver, will have
difficulty in following the lines and may give inappropriate warnings. In these circumstances, Lane
Alert and Optilane may not operate correctly and they may send erroneous messages.
◈guideo™ needs time to track intermittent lines, and it will issue a proper warning two seconds
after passing a junction for Lane Alert and Optilane to operate properly.

◈
◈◈
◈If you are feeling drowsy while driving, pull over and take a rest.
◈Image data may not be recorded during minor accelerations or decelerations which are
insufficient to trigger the Video Box. See " Video Box”.
◈hick coating on the windshield glass may degrade the performance of Lane Alert,
Optilane and Beep&Watch and cause dim images on the Video Box recording.
◈Image data may not be recorded during strong sudden accelerations in which the shock is
enough to deactivate guideo™.

1. Video Box
What is the Video Box?
he Video Box automatically stores road images in case of an abrupt change in acceleration
(accident, sudden stop, etc). guideo™ saves the images and acceleration and time data. A
maximum of 30 videos can be saved in guideo™. Note that the Video Box is not intended to record
images of individuals or any personal data such as the number-plate of the vehicle in front. hese
images should not be used or reproduced in any media or video.
he Recording Image button on the remote control also triggers the image store. If you want to
save image data manually, use the Save button.
If a new event occurs after 30 scenes have been saved, the oldest data will be overwritten.
o preserve the "critical" data stored in guideo™, power off guideo™ to prevent overwriting.

Functions
1. Video Box
Recording o images and vehicle in ormation
guideo™ automatically detects abrupt acceleration changes and
records the images 14 seconds before and 6 seconds after the
incident.
At the same time, it records the 3-dimensional acceleration data of
vehicle and the accident time.
Full analysis o image and acceleration data
he Video Box data will be fully analysed by the simulation
program.

Video recording conditions
he Video Box is triggered when accelerometers inside the
system detect an impact of more than 0.4 G along any of the
axes shown in the diagram.
