Getting Started

Please read and understand warnings & safety instructions before operating.

Memory card

Before turning ON the camera, please insert the memory card in Class10 U3 or above of the known brand at maximum of 256GB. Please format the memory card before use.

Note:

1. The memory card is a consumable item and has a certain service life (please refer to the description of the memory card of relevant brand for the specific product life).
2. If the machine prompts that it cannot be formatted, the card is wrong, or frequently prompts to format, please replace the card with a new one. To ensure better  protection of your memory card and machine, please format it regularly within 2 months.

First-time charging

Now plug in to the power. The camera will turn on automatically as soon as it receives the power and then it will prompt you with the initial setup on the screen for the first-time use. Make sure to keep your camera plugging into the power all the time because the internal battery is ONLY for emergency recording during parking mode.

Note:

1. You can use your iPhone or Android phone’s USB charger and USB cable to plug your dash cam into your 110V power outlet.
2. If you don’t get the initial setup prompts for any reason, you can set the camera to factory default settings, then re-start the camera to start the initial setup again.

Recording

KINGSLIM 4K D6 dash cam is programmed to turn ON and start recording automatically when it receives power, and when the power gets disconnected, it will stop recording, save the last video safely and then shut down within 5 seconds automatically.

Settings

Now, by default all the settings are pre-set in a way that you can just start using the camera. However, you can customize it further by learning more about the camera by either watching How to Video or reading the User Manual so you can get the maximum benefit out of it and the best use experience.

Setting date & time

Please set the correct date and time based on your location under the Time Zon Setting by going to camera’s system settings menu.
Note: The GPS module is not included in the package.
