unit to make sure it is level with the ground.

avoid damage to the bracket.
Memory Card
Please insert the card into the host according to the card slot icon [ ]. To
ensure that the card can be used normally, please format the card with the

Formatting will delete all the data in the card, so please keep the important
data first.
Connected Power
Before connecting the power, please be sure to first connect the host and rear
lens USB cable installation is complete, finally connect the car charging
power to the car to reduce the host and rear lens damage chance.
NOTE: Please use the original car charger to avoid damage caused by non- compliance with the specifications. If there is oil, fingerprints or other dirt on the inside or outside of the windshield, wipe it clean before installing it. When using the bracket, please choose the position carefully.
