Screw the mount into the threaded hole on the top of the video camera. Tighten the grooved plastic nut found on the metal bolt in order to affix and stabilise the video camera. Position the video camera as needed by loosening the large nut on the ball joint. Place the suction cup mount on the windshield of the vehicle in a way that allows you to have a clear view of the road; the device must not obstruct the line of sight of the driver. After positioning the device as desired, fix the position of the video camera by turning the large nut. Place the device so that it does not come into contact with other objects. It may be practical to attach it next to the centre rearview mirror.
The suction cup and the glass must be cleaned before the installation. Only soapy water can be used!

Run the cable in a circle, without injury, under the plastic frame around the windshield. It is recommended to run it above the inner rearview mirror under the edge of the roof lining, then run it to the right under the plastic mouldings to the glove compartment, under that lead it further and connect it to the cigar lighting socket. A USB- miniUSB cable (accessory) is required if you want to connect it to a computer with the purpose to copy the shots. If you have a memory card reader, you can remove the card from the camera and manage the recordings with the card reader.
The built-in Li-Po battery does not operate the camera for continuous operation, but compensates for potential surges that may occur when starting or stopping the vehicle, thus protecting the camera from malfunction The accumulator should be removed after service life and disassembled by a qualified technician and treated as hazardous waste. If there is fluid leaking out of it, wear protective gloves and clean with a dry cloth. Do not open, burn or short-circuit the accumulator. Non-rechargeable batteries should not be charged! Risk of explosion! Keep out of reach of children!The red LED on the upper right corner goes out when charging is completed.

This ensures the least possible loss of information when deleting old recordings. Auto-delete does not work if Loop Recording is off or if Protect is used to protect the recordings against erasing.

• Automatically lock important shots (G-Sensor)
  Thanks to the built-in gyroscope, the camera can detect when a collision has occurred. In this case, the current recording cycle is locked and will not be cancelled even if the recording is prolonged. When the memory card is full, the oldest recordings are always erased, but the protected file will be retained. Cameras without this feature often automatically and unnoticeably erase the important recording by the time it is needed. This function can be activatedand its sensitivity can be set in the G-Sensor menu item. Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, adjust the sensitivity of the G-Sensor individually. In case of setting it too sensitive, a lot of recording cycles may become protected against erasing unnecessarily and memory card gets full due to protected shots. Irrespective of automatic locking, you can protect the current part of the recording manually at any time. Press ▲button for 3 seconds during the recording and the cycle you are recording becomes protected against automatic deletion. Pressing the button again keeps this function clear and the „key” symbol disappears from the screen. Protected video footages are stored in a separate folder.
