the mirror or controls, or obstruct the airbag.

near the rear-view mirror.
- Clean the windshield area where you will be mounting the dashcam with an
alcohol/cleaning wipe before attaching the suction cup mount.

Card Slot
Compatible with Micro SD memory cards
(32GB max)

Before using your dashcam, insert a Micro SD Memory Card into the memory card slot. A
Micro SD memory card is required in order to store recorded photos and videos.
Your dashcam supports Micro SD Memory Cards up to 32GB in capacity. To ensure
smooth performance and plenty of room for recording long journeys, it is recommended to
use a memory card rated class 6 or above, with at least 8GB in capacity.
We do not guarantee compatibility with Micro SD cards from all manufacturers. Ensure
Micro SD cards used are from reliable sources and good quality.
It is recommended to insert a new Micro SD card, if it has been used it is recommended
format the Micro SD card before first using it. Formatting permanently deletes all data on
the memory card, so be sure to backup the data you want to keep to another storage device
before formatting.
The memory card slot is spring loaded. To remove a Micro SD card from the memory card
slot, push the edge of the card until it pops out and then pull it from the slot.

Powering on and Charging:
In order to power on your dashcam, you can plug one end of the supplied car charger into
the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle, and then connect the other end to the USB
port on your dashcam.
Once plugged in, your dashcam turns on and starts recording automatically when ignition
is turned on, When the ignition is turned off, the dashcam will turn off shortly afterwards.
You can also manually start/stop recording if you are using your dashcam independently of
your vehicle.
When using your dashcam independently, the internal rechargeable battery can keep the
dashcam powered on for about 5 minutes depending on usage. Connect one of the
included charging cables to your dashcam in order to recharge the internal battery. While
charging the charging light will turn blue. The charging light will turn off when the internal
battery is fully charged. Charging typically takes approximately 90 minutes depending on
how drained the battery is. The battery status icon will tell you how close the battery is to
being fully charged.
