Installing a Memory Card (Please Don’t Use Sandisk Sd Cards, Recommend Samsung Pro Endurance Card or Samsung Evo Card)

We recommend Samsung Pro Endurance 32GB- 128GB SD card or Samsung Evo Plus 32GB-256GB SD card. Samsung Micro SD cards would only be made in either Korea or the Philippians. Please be sure to buy a genuine Samsung card. To insert the card, power off the camera first, then carefully insert the memory card into the camera’s card slot until it clicks, otherwise the dash cam will say goodbye and shut off.

NOTE: If you are using a 64GB, 128GB or 256GB MicroSD card, please format it to FAT32 on the camera first. Please insert the card into the camera, (if it says ‘please insert TF card’ or sd ‘card error’here, please press the recording button(OK button) and press M button to access into the menu, go ‘system setup’ and choose ‘format’. Then the card will work well on the camera.
