FIRST USE
A Insert the microSD card into the camera.
- Use branded cards from reputable manufacturers of class 10 and higher with a capacity of up to 128 GB.
- Only remove the card when the camera is turned off.
- Format the card directly in the camera the first time you use it, and repeat the formatting at least once a month to ensure proper operation of the camera.
B Plug the adapter into the car cigarette lighter and use the USB cable to connect it to the camera. The camera is designed to operate only when connected to power.
- Instead of a battery, the camera contains a supercapacitor, which provides power and has a longer lifespan than a conventional battery.
C When connected to the power, the camera will automatically turn on and start recording.
- In some vehicles, it is first necessary to turn the key in the ignition.
PLACEMENT ON WINDSCREEN
A The ideal place to mount the dashcam is the space between the windshield and the rearview mirror so that it does not obstruct the driver‘s view.
- When installing, ensure the cable does not interfere with safety features in the car (e.g. airbag).
B Make sure the glass is clean and dry at the attachment point.
- The ideal temperature for bonding is 20 °C – 40 °C.
C Peel off the film from the 3M adhesive pad on the camera mount.
D Before attaching it to the glass, turn on the camera and point it so that it has a good view.
E Attach the camera with the 3M pad to the glass and hold for a while.
- For easier removal of the mount, you can apply an electrostatic sticker between the 3M pad and the windscreen.
- Finally, adjust the direction of the lens so that part of the bonnet is visible in the frame.
BASIC FUNCTIONS
Loop recording
- The camera automatically splits the recording into shorter video files and starts overwriting the oldest unprotected files with new ones when the SD card is full. This way you don‘t have to worry about running out of space on the card.
File protection
- You can protect the currently recorded video manually by pressing the multifunction button or through the app. When the recording is protected, a tone will sound and the LED indicator will turn red.
G-sensor
- Thanks to the G-sensor, the camera can identify an impact, such as in a traffic accident. Once an impact is detected, the camera immediately protects the current recording from being overwritten. (CAUTION, formatting the card will also delete the protected files).
- Caution, high sensitivity settings and driving on uneven surfaces may cause the files to lock themselves, completely filling up the MicroSD card.
