16. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: The adhesive mount will not stay attached to the
windscreen
Solution: • Ensure windscreen is clean and free of debris,
use glass cleaner or an alcohol swab to clean.
• Ensure that the plastic film has been removed from the
adhesive pad.
• When mounting hold the bracket firmly to the windscreen for
at least 60 seconds.
Problem: The Dash Cam will not power on
Solution: • Vehicle Accessory Socket - Check the vehicle
accessory socket has power, simply plug another device and
see if it powers up (or use a test light / multimeter to check for
power).
• Dash Cam Power Cable - Check the fuse in the tip of the
accessory plug, it may need to be replaced.
• Dash Cam - Connect the Dash Cam to a computer via the
USB cable to see if it powers up.
Problem: The Dash Cam shuts down when connected to the
vehicle and the battery will not charge
Solution: • The battery will only charge while the vehicle is
switched on.
• If the vehicle is not frequently used the Dash Cam battery
will fully discharge and may need to be connected to a
domestic USB charger (such as a smartphone charger) for
approximately 3 hours to fully charge.
Problem: The Dash Cam battery only lasts for a few minutes
when power is disconnected
Solution: • This is normal. Batteries in Dash Cams only hold
enough power to safely shut down the Dash Cam, securely
save the last file when power is disconnected and retain
settings.
• The Dash Cam is designed to be connected to power at all
times while being used.

14
Problem: The time & date settings reset every time the Dash
Cam is powered on

Solution: • While the Dash Cam is recording the Menu can
not be accessed. Stop recording before pressing the Menu
button.
Problem: The Dash Cam screen turns off after a few minutes
when the Dash Cam is powered on
Solution: • Dash Cams have an automatic screen saver
feature. This helps reduce heat in the Dash Cam and also
makes the Dash Cam less distracting to the driver.
• If you prefer the screen remain on, this can be changed in
the Dash Cam settings under “Screen Saver”.
Problem: The Dash Cam feels warm when it is operating
Solution: • It is normal for the Dash Cam to feel warm to the
touch during typical use, especially when it is recording HD
video.
Problem: The Dash Cam stops automatically while recording
Solution: • Check to see whether there is enough space on
the Micro SD card.
• Ensure correct Micro SD card is being used, 8-32Gb Class
10 or above Micro SDHC is recommended. Other types of
Micro SD cards may not be suitable for use in Dash Cams.
• If the correct Micro SD Card is being used, format the Micro
SD Card in a computer.
• Micro SD cards have a limited lifespan and become corrupt
after a period of time, due to the continuous loop recording
function. If this has occurred replace you Micro SD Card.
