1.3 Memory Card Insertion and Removal

Ensure the camcorder is powered off.
Open the memory card door on the side of the camcorder by lifting up on the door using the small cutout.
Insert a MicroSD memory card into the MicroSD card slot with the gold pins facing the display screen. Do not force it through the MicroSD card into the slot as it can only be inserted in one direction. Once successfully inserted, it will click in.
To remove the MicroSD card, simply push the MicroSD card in and it will bounce back out of the slot.

Do not remove or insert the memory card when recording. Doing so may cause the card to become damaged or cause data loss.
1.4 Windshield Mount
The windshield mount is included for mounting your camcorder to your windshield. Simply attach the smaller plastic end of the mount to the top of your camcorder. Apply the suction cup side to the top of your windshield. Then lift up on the lever that is attached to the suction cup to secure the suction cup to the windshield. Before applying to your windshield, make sure that your windshield is clean and free of any dirt or debris. Before removing the suction cup from the windshield, make sure to lower the lever.
NOTE: If the suction cup loses its grip over time, thoroughly clean the clear suction are with soap and water. After cleaning, allow it to dry for 2 hours and reapply it to your windshield.

1.5 Mounting the Camcorder
The camcorder should be mounted on the windshield of your vehicle in a location where it does not interfere with your view through the windshield. The optimal location is to the right of or directly below the rearview mirror. When mounting the camcorder, make sure to run the power cable so that the cable does not interfere with your view through the windshield. See the diagram below. You can tuck the USB table into your car interior’s headliner and molding.

NOTE: Consult with local state laws in your area before installing your camcorder. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply to the placement of objects on the windshield of your vehicle.
1.6 Startup
1.6.1 In-Car Use
Connect the included auxiliary DC power adaptor to your car’s power port. Plug the USB plug into the camcorder’s USB port. Charging will begin immediately. Please note that the camcorder’s internal battery has a very limited capacity and is only intended for use in emergency use situations.
1.6.2 In-Car / Interior Camera
The camcorder comes with a second built-in camera. This camera is used to record the interior of your vehicle at the same time as the front camera is recording the road in front of you. Press the RIGHT button to change the view on the LCD screen to the in-car camera. Video files from the in-car camera are saved as separate files on the memory card. Simply rotate the in-car camera to change the view of the camera.
1.6.3 USB Cord / Computer Use
Connect the included USB cable to a free USB port on your computer, and connect the other end of the cable into the camcorder’s USB port. The battery may be charged while the camcorder is powered on or off. The camcorder will automatically power on and show three different modes you can select from. The modes are ‘Mass Storage’, where you can access stored videos and images, ‘PC Camera’, where the camcorder will function like a web cam, and ‘REC_mode’, where the camera will function normally while connected to the computer’s power. Use the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to select your desired mode and press the OK/RECORD button to enter that mode.
Your camcorder acts like a memory card reader when connected and your videos and photos stored on your camcorder memory can easily be accessed this way.
To access the files on your PC, go to Start (or File Explorer) → This PC → and find Removable Disk. Your media will be stored in a folder on this drive.
1.6.4 Using the IR Night Vision Mode
This camcorder has built-in infrared (IR) LEDs for night vision recording – giving you the ability to capture photos and videos in a dark environment.
The infrared LEDs automatically activate when the level of ambient light is low and will turn off when the level of ambient light is high.
Note:
Videos recorded in black and white cannot be changed to color.
1.6.5 Reset
If your camcorder freezes or becomes unresponsive, press the RESET button to reset and power cycle the camcorder. Insert a pointy object into the reset hole under the memory card door on the side of the camcorder to fully reset it. Refer to the Section 1 of the user manual’s illustration.
1.6.6 Internal Supercapacitor
All dashcams get their power supply from the vehicle’s ignition through a charging cable.
However, dashcams also need a power backup to save files if power suddenly cuts out.
For this purpose, dashcams either use an internal battery or a capacitor. Your MNCD200NW has a built-in capacitor for power backup. The main purpose of a dashcam’s internal power supply is meant for saving files only in case of power failure or emergency.
Capacitors are more reliable than a lithium-ion battery due to the fact that they are more resistant to heat, extreme temperatures, harsher climates and do not fail after exceeding their charge cycles. Capacitors also do not pose many of the risk and care required of a lithium-ion battery product. If power suddenly cuts out from your vehicle, the internal supercapacitor will have enough power to save your files to the memory card and safely shutdown.
