Take out the electrostatic sticker from the packing box and install it in the recommended area on the windshield, as shown in the figure below. Please clean the windshield, and remove the air bubbles between the electrostatic sticker and the windshield during the installation.
   Note: Please DO NOT attached the dash cam with the sticker to the windshield before the camera calibration to ensure AI feature works properly.

2. Connect the power supply
   Connec t the USB cable to the micro USB port of the 1 Dash Cam. Run the cable along the edge of the windshield, tucking it away in the seams (With the Crowbar), and extend it all the way to the USB port of the 2 Car Charger. Be sure to keep it away from the airbag area.
   Insert the 1 Car Charger into your cigarette lighter, connect the 2 Dash Cam to the Car Charger.

Align vertical line to the center, horizontal line to the vanishing point of the road in the preview LCD screen as shown below. Make sure the dash cam does not interfere with the driver’s view.
   Note: The AI accuracy is dramatically effected by the position of installation. Please install carefully.
   

4. Attach the Dash Cam
   Remove the protective sticker on the Dash Cam bracket and attach the Dash Cam to the center of the electrostatic sticker (the sweet spot in step 3), as shown in the figure below. Press the bracket mount by hand to ensure that the heat resistant adhesive is in close contact with the electrostatic sticker. Lock the bracket to the Dash Cam. You will hear a snap when it is in place.

Features

Note: Not all features are listed in this manual.
Parking Mode
When your car is not running, i.e. the engine is turned off, the Dash Cam will automatically power off in 10 seconds and enter Parking Mode. When a shock or crash is detected, the G-Sensor will activate the Dash Cam and start recording a 16-second and a 60-second video. The Dash Cam will then reenter the Parking Mode.
Time Lapse
Time Lapse recording is a technique whereby the frequency at which file frames are captured (frame rate) is lower than that used when playing back the recording. Time Lapse recording can be considered the opposite of slow motion, as when the recording is played back time appears to be moving faster. This feature operates for up to 24 hours after the ignition is turn off.
Note: Use of this function requires a hardwire kit (NOT included) to provide a constant power supply.
Emergency Recordings
A 16-second video and a 60-second video will be captured when the G-Sensor is activated in case of sharp turns or a  sudden stop. When the capacity of these videos reaches 30% of the eMMC space, the oldest ones will be overwritten by the new ones.
Travel Log
Travel Log Record the driving path of your journey. Your video and photo will store the GPS information and shows the geographic in your album. Your journey could be store in your personal account in the cloud.
Note: No personal data is collected. All GPS log data is stored anonymously in US Amazon Web Service.

Precautions

Warning: Do not expose this product to rain, moisture or Do not expose this product to rain, moisture or water under any circumstances, doing so may result in the water under any circumstances, doing so may result in the risk of electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the instruction manual unless you are qualified to do so. Have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician if;
The unit has been exposed to rain or water.
The unit does not seem to operate normally.
The unit exhibits a marked change in performance.
LCD:
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen is a multilayer complex component, containing 384,000 pixels. Pixels can however fail during normal product life. 1 pixel = 0.000026% failure rate, and one pixel failure per year of operation is considered normal and not a cause for concern.
Battery:
» Do not immerse or expose the Dash Cam or batteries to rain, water or other liquids.
» Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the sun or in an unattended vehicle. To prevent the possibility of damage, remove the Dash Cam from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.
» Do not operate the Dash Cam outside of the following temperature range: from -10˚ to 45˚C (from 14˚ to 113˚F).
» When storing the Dash Cam for an extended time period, store within the following temperature range: from 0˚ to 25˚C (from 32˚ to 77˚F).
» Do not use a power and/or data cable that is not approved or supplied by Miofive.
» Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the Dash Cam/batteries in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations.
G Sensor:
The G Sensor within the Dash Cam measures forces exerted upon it, with reference to one g which is the nominal force exerted upon us when stationary on the earth’s surface. The G Sensor will also trigger to protect any recording currently in progress, if a pre-determined threshold of force is exceeded. The G Sensor protection will be adversely affected if the Dash Cam is NOT mounted in the vertical direction i.e. with the lens pointing to or from the direction of travel. G Force information derived from a G Sensor is not warranted to be totally accurate at all times, as it is derived from the G Sensor through a sampling method over time. The precision of the G Sensor value recorded depends upon when the acceleration took place at the instance of the sample taken. The thresholds to trigger the video protection rely upon a trigger value being exceeded between two successive samples, in any one of the three G Sensor axis. If the Automatic G Sensor protection does NOT trigger during an event, then the EMER Video button should be pressed, in order to protect the file. Protecting the file can also be performed through the Miofive App for applicable Wi-Fi models.
GPS:
The lines Dataset/s have been simplified in order to reduce the number of track points required for detailed lines. Although every effort has been made to ensure the correctness and accuracy of the Dataset (Speed, Altitude, location etc), Miofive makes no representations, either express or implied, as to the accuracy, currency, completeness or suitability for any particular purpose of the information and accepts no liability for any use of the Dataset or any responsibility for any reliance placed on that information. The user acknowledges that the Dataset cannot be guaranteed error free and that use of the Dataset is at the user’s sole risk and that the information contained in the Dataset may be subject to change without notice.
