PACKAGE CONTENTS

FUNCTIONS

Automatic Booting
Once the AP1 has been wired to your OBDII port or vehicle power source, the AP1 will boot up automatically. It will take around 55 seconds for the unit to be ready to operate.

1. VIDEO RECORDING
   Continuous Record
   This is the default mode for recording. In this setting, the unit will begin recording after booting up and record the entire time the unit is powered on. The resolution and frame rates can be set as per your requirements.
   Event Record
   The unit will record when triggered by impact, an ADAS Forward Collision Warning Setting, a Speeding Threshold Limit Exceed Event or a push of the “Panic” (Rec) button. You can set the record time during the calibration setting mode.
   Dual Record, Continuous + Event
   The continuous record file will be stored on the “Normal” folder and the event record will be stored on the “Event” folder on the SD card.
   Drive Data
   The DRV file will be recorded while driving even if there are no events or video.
   The DRV file consists of GPS and G-sensor data. The DRV file overwrites the oldest data. The DRV files will be made every 1 to 10 minutes.
   Time and Date
   This information will be provided by GPS satellites automatically.

2. WI-FI
   To connect to the device via Wi-Fi, please press the “multi-function” button and hold for 5 seconds (long press), wait 3 seconds and then connect directly to the AP1 via Wi-Fi using your mobile device.

3. VOLUME CONTROL
   Please press the volume button to control. The volume level is 1 to 5.

ADAS FUNCTIONALITY

Forward Proximity Warning Something is in the forward proximity, and an imminent collision with your vehicle is possible (at low speeds).

Forward Collision Warning Your vehicle is likely to collide with something in front of your vehicle.

Forward Vehicle Start Alert The vehicle in front of you begins to move forward while your vehicle remains stopped.

Lane Departure Warning Your vehicle crosses a solid lane line on either side of the road.

Caution
ADAS functionality is not a substitute for an alert, trained and engaged driver. ADAS functionality will be impaired by many things, including but not limited to device malfunction, obstruction of the device’s image sensor, intense weather conditions that reduce the visibility afforded to the device’s image sensor, and poor and/or faded road and lane striping/markings.

DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
To reduce the potential danger of injuries, the driver and front passenger must always be correctly seated with seat belts correctly fastened when operating the vehicle.
DISCLAIMER
The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always the responsibility of the driver to take appropriate corrective action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for a driver to stay alert and to obey all traffic laws while operating a vehicle. Never wait for the device to provide a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage.
Always, it is the driver’s responsibility to:

•  Use safe driving techniques
•  Exercise proper judgment
• Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles
•  Take measures to avoid an accident
•  Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

WARNING
In certain conditions, including inclement weather, low visibility and certain road conditions (including poor lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads, heavy or complicated traffic, and curvy and winding roads), the AP1 may have limited to no functionality. The AP1 may not detect certain objects such as motorcyclists, bicyclists or pedestrians even in the most ideal conditions. Always keep the lens and view of the AP1 unobstructed and properly calibrated so as not to inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions or any interference with the AP1 can result in false, few or no warnings. The driver must always monitor traffic and surroundings and take measures to avoid an accident; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage.
WARNING
If the AP1 is not functioning properly at any time, please contact your distributor or visit support.smartwitness.com and have the device inspected immediately to correct the issue. Whether or not the AP1 is functioning, it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage.
CAUTION
While cleaning the device or the vehicle cab, do not apply compressed air or cleaning solutions (such as Windex) to the AP1 device. Usage of these products may cause damage to the device.

GPS RECEPTION

When satellites don’t have line of sight, cellular towers help triangulate a vehicle’s location.

1.  Activate the product in an area without large buildings to improve GPS reception.
2.  The temperature range for optimum operation of the GPS receiver in your vehicle is -10°C ~ 50°C.
3.  When using the product for the first time or after a long period (more than three days), it may take a little longer to recognize your current location.
4.  This product supports Assisted GPS.

GPS reception may be impaired under the following circumstances:

1. If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windshields.
2.  If equipment generating electromagnetic waves that interfere with the GPS signal is installed in the vehicle, e.g., other GPS devices, such as certain types of wireless activated alarms and MP3 and CD players and camera alarms using GPS.
3.  On heavily overcast or cloudy days or if the vehicle is in a covered location, such as under a bridge or raised roadway, in a tunnel, on an underground roadway, in an underground parking area, inside a building or surrounded by high-rise buildings.

If GPS signal reception is poor, it may take longer to locate your current position when the vehicle is moving than when it is stationary.
